Why are townships, boroughs, towns, and cities in PA mapped with separate
admin levels, or at least "supposed to be" mapped that way according to
that page? As far as I know they're always only ever one level below
county, and never overlap. i.e. you never have a town in the middle of some
other
OK, three topics shake out from this, two Pennsylvania, one Boston. I'll try
(and likely fail) to be brief:

England states (of those 9) in a sub-table, which I harmonized into that
wiki's "Big Table."

Having lived in Pittsburgh, I remember that the neighborhood boundaries are
well
IDK Pittsburgh but City of Boston has semiofficial neighborhoods that sort
of qualify as subordinate administrative units, in that there are official
city hall neighborhood service offices and official borders.
