As a person who lived for a long time in a political capital I was so frustrated with news articles titled like this.
"[City] decides [XYZ stupid thing]!!!"
No! We in the city didn't decide it - our responsibility is limited to our political representative. Everyone else voted in idiots and sent them here to decide idiot things!
This is a common literary device in wide use everywhere. No one is saying that YOU PERSONALLY did something just because you live in a place. Chill out.
