You still own it and pay taxes on it, so it isn't city property in the sense that you are talking about.

While there may be some subdivisions that are deeded that way, I think it's a HUGE stretch to say it's that way "in most cases." I've been in architecture, construction and land use for over 40 years and, while I have heard of some streets that are deeded that way, I have never actually encountered one and I have never worked on or reviewed a subdivision that was deeded that way.
