I agree with your statement, excpet for Washington County. Washington borders VT and if far north of Albany, and is very rural, labeling it with Albany, Rensselaer, Schnectady and Saratoga make it seem more urban. Let's be honest, Washington County's cow population is larger then the human population, even if you doubled the human popluation.
