I say I live in Vancouver to anybody from outside the area but at the UEL (University Endowment Lands) or at UBC to people from Vancouver. Of course, the UEL is such a weird setup that explaining it to anybody outside of Vancouver is hopeless. In fact, it is even difficult to say why I won't be voting in Vancouver to telephone canvassers at election time.

But aside from the political setup, I think my pattern is fairly common. Say the name of the big city to people at a distance and the neighbourhood to locals.
