I live in the "suburb"
No, you don't, if your byline is correct (it says "Boston, MA"). Mine says "Aptos, CA", which I need to update to "San Jose, CA". Let me explain the difference between Aptos and San Jose:

San Jose is a major metropolitan city. Aptos is a suburban town of a minor city (Santa Cruz), and foreigners often mistake it for being a suburb of an even more minor city that's closer to it (Watsonville, but that's a field and picker city).

Boston is an urban area. Is there some exceptions in its bounds, like in a few cities, and to what extent are those exceptions really exceptions in practice? Are you near enough to urbania to get its effects?

I lived in Boston for college, I know what a suburb is thank you. I currently live in Woburn, MA which is the suburbs. As I noted bellow boston is not a suburb nor are the surrounding cities.
