Why do web sites set up sub domains for individual cities?

2
Progreaming Forum Questions

Hi, I am going to create a site similar to craigslist.org/ ( using PHP and MYSQL on a Linux VPS) and was wounding if anyone can provide me with information on why sites like craigslist.org/ ( or the one listed below ) set up sub domains for each city. Can anyone also provide me with any suggestions on how best to set up the site structure with SEO and programming in mind.

I plan on creating a site for one city and then moving it in to a new folder for each sub domain / city on my server. Any helpful information with programming in mind on this would also help. Is this a bad idea? How best to efficiently approach this?
