Business owners are not called "The City."

  Right that does make sense, but "the city" is a generic enough entity which shouldn't translate to its politicians/govt necessarily automatically either?

    There are many contexts where that translates automatically The city sends me a letter telling me to mow my lawn when I let it grow wild all Summer

    "The city" as an entity refers to local governance and city legislation

      When you tell the story about how you went to New York City for vacation nobody pictures you hanging out with the Mayor or meeting the City Council or whatever.

  In the US most corporations/businesses are allowed to sell the government data that the government itself is not allowed to collect. When it comes to any data anywhere the problem isn't generally the government having it then, it's that the government can request it one way or another at almost any time.
