Change Apple Community Username

I moved. Not sure why I chose to add my city in my username but would like to remove it. How?

Changing your username on the Apple Support Community is not directly possible. Users have reported that Apple does not allow individuals to change their usernames on the platform. If you're unsatisfied with your current username, the only solution appears to be creating a new Apple ID and signing in to the forums with that ID. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a simpler method for altering your username without creating a new account.

That's not exactly true. Where are you getting your information? The Hosts will allow, under certain circumstances, a change in User Name. I used to have a different one and the Hosts were quite gracious about changing it. David McKinlay's post is correct.
