If NYC "deannexed" to a village of 12, it wouldn't change a thing. It would have the exact same MSA, CSA, and UA populations.
And LIC and Flushing haven't been separate "villages and towns" for 150 years. What does that even mean? Everything outside the original Dutch settlement was at one time a separate "village".
