Giant black holes occupy the centers of most large galaxies, including our own. I'm thinking that what creates the galaxy is the gravitational attraction of the black hole at the center, much like how our solar system wouldn't be a system without the Sun in the center.
And the black hole may be 4 million times the MASS of our sun, it is not 4 million times the DIAMETER of our sun, which is what the word "size" implies.

I think you can fall into a gigantic black hole, at least for a "while", before you run into all the stuff that's trying to get out. Actually, I think you're describing the typical American city.
Also, my take is once you're in, you're in. No signs like ...

OTOH, falling into a typical black hole will have you stretched, and pulled apart down to the particle level relatively quickly.Subtle. Well played.

Actually, a black hole is more like a trash compactor - INDUSTRIAL GRADE!
Everything gets really compressed, so that there are no spaces between atomic particles.
The most dense object other than a Black Hole is a neutron star.
“A typical neutron star - if there is a typical one - has the density of about 3.7×1017 to 5.9×1017 kg/m3. The Earth for comparison has a density of 5.515 g/cm3
To put that into perspective, a neutron star has the mass of the entire human population, squashed down to the size of a sugar cube, or one teaspoon (5 milliliters) of neutron star would have 900 times the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Or imagine squeezing 50 million elephants into a thimble. That is the density of a neutron star.”
