Hi, So from my point of view as a nominatim developer the issue is that there are (at least?) 2 types of city in the USA.
There are administrative cities and there are postal cities. There are also census areas, which may or may not be their own category of thing. At the moment all of these are tagged in exactly the same way: boundary=administrative type=boundary plus an admin_level There is nothing that lets us tell them apart so we are left to pick the 'best' city. Adding individual 'city' tags to houses doesn't help much. Do you mean admin city or postal city? Same issue. In most cases we actually want to find and link to both. So - my suggestion would be to introduce tagging that makes the distinction. Ideally to create boundary=postal or something like that rather than tagging every road or house with duplicate information.
