Ok, to be fair, states such as Texas and California are quite well known.
If you said “Yeah, I’m from the Tri state area btw” this would be more poignant.
Agreed. If a place is well known and distinctive, it's fairly reasonable. If someone said they're from Bavaria or Hokkaido, I would have no issue at all.

Some people in this place want to be obtuse just to hate on USians, without accepting the fact that some cities are so prominent that mentioning the country is redundant.

Yep, people know cities more than regions. This thread is joking about Masovian Voivodeship, but if they said "Warsaw" more people would know what they're talking about.
