I work in a very small city entirely surrounded by a much larger one. The one I work for is an enclave for the 0.1%. The average new home build here is over 10 times the price that of the major city that surrounds us, which is also very expensive for the region.
Suffice to say, I can’t live here. I live in a shitty trailer that’s about 2 hours away with traffic, but costs $700 a month as opposed to $3000+ for a tiny 1-room apartment near work.
The commute sucks, but I save $115 every day I commute.
The City of London lies within Greater London itself. The king may not enter the City of London without the Lord Mayor of London’s (Not to be confused with the mayor of London) approval, or something like that.
It sounds weird, but it is more a technicality. Some cities have grown so much they consumed what used to be small towns outside their boundaries. Those small towns stayed independent entities. Examples are all over.
That’s me.

Fortunately, I like audio books.

How is the enclosed city not just considered part of the bigger city? I think I’ve never seen a city like that before.
It’s fairly common, especially if the residents are wealthy, they just incorporate their neighborhood area.

fam, try Pimsleur Speak & Understand language learning. A lot of libraries have them in CD form. That’ll kill half hour to an hour easy.
