Including such a broad list of places as place=city
is counter to the sentiment in New England place name inflation and commentary that place
nodes east of the Mississippi are overclassified.
Including such locations such as Berlin, NH (population < 10,000), would then cause me to insist on adding not only Newport, RI, but also other small locations that have similar compact centers such as Wakefield, RI, Westerly, RI, Woonsocket, RI, and Pawtucket, RI.
Since it’s suggested to have Cambridge be a separate city despite it being a clear outgrowth of Boston, I would also similarly insist that the Providence suburbs of Warwick and Cranston be similarly tagged place=city
