It's a straight shot from meter to house. But the only way to run
outside faucets from city water is to tee form the straight line and
run it around the house. You can't get from house to outside easily,
house has concrete basement walls that extend a few feet above ground
level.
Do it the way they do it in "the rest of the world" where water
meters are inside the house to keep them from freezing, and ALL
outside faucets are fed through the concrete foundations

i've heard of very few, and seen even less places where the meter is
inside.

Thats the standard arrangement in my area and the dozen states around
me. Typically the only time they use outside meter pits is for the few
applications when there isn't a heated space.
