That is a very useful resource; thank you.
Some cities make shapefiles available for urban growth boundaries and city limits. It's worth enquiring. But be aware that some cities city limits are not simple polygons; depending on local ordinances you can see islands, internal voids and peninsulas attached with zero width stems.

The poly files that you get from the process outlined in the readme file will include islands/voids. It's pretty cool.
