Word for people who live in the same city
What are the people who live in the same city are called? Any words for that? I want to use it in the following context:
I and my ____ are happy.
Townsfolk
I and my fellow townsfolk are happy.
Citizens is also a possibility, but could be misinterpreted.
I think the word you need is 'denizens'.
'The denizens of Boston showed great solidarity in the face of a terrorist attack'.
'I and my fellow denizens are happy'.
Typically the way to say this is:
Fellow [name for locals]
For example:
I want to make my fellow New Yorkers happy.
