pushing those two tiny towns aside, you do see the fundamental differences between the other examples you gave? Portland and Portland are on two separate oceans, and Vancouver and Vancouver are in two separate countries.
It might not be confusing to you
because you lived in both cities. As for people who've lived in neither, or never been east of Quebec... Saint John, NB and St. John's, NL can definitely be quite confusing.
It wasn't that long ago that St. John's and Saint John were the second and third largest cities in Atlantic Canada. It's confusing to
others whether
you want to admit it or not.
