Although I seem to remember that I essentially could have chosen to pay either Illinois or Massachusetts income tax and get a credit in the other state. Maybe cities don't have the same ability to extract non-resident taxes for some reason?

People who have earned income or income sourced in New York City (or state) but don't live there DO have to pay New York State income tax on the income earned there but not New York City income tax unless, as was said, they are residents of the city as spelled out here:

I have, from time to time, owned units in limited partnerships located in New York City and had to pay New York State income tax on the earnings of those partnerships but not New York City income tax.
In any case, most (all???) states give you a tax credit on their resident income tax for non-resident state income taxes paid to other states (and cities). By the way, in the era of Turbotax, it's really not all that complicated.
