One of the reasons I see NYC in Bridgeport has nothing to do with that, it's the expensive over the top homes on the other side of the bridge with the cool views of the cityscape. Some parts of New Jersey over one of the bridges and the tunnels here are kind of like that. But I'm sure other cities have areas and views like that as well.
The game likes to exaggerate, wherever it gets its stereotypes from, and most players I've seen from Big Cities like this one are fine with that. :)
