These mistakes are surely a sad thing to notice. The issues in the game that contradict the books are so big that saying the books are canon is more like saying they're fanfic. Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the very existence of New Alexandria didn't make sense due to the fact that (as far as I remember) Reach was a military planet, and that there were no civilian cities. I would bust out my copy of Fall of Reach for confirmation, if my friend didn't steal it.
BUT.... it was a fun game anyway.
Funny, if the inconsistencies and minor errors were as big as you claim, then EVERYbody would be agreeing with you and you wouldn't have anybody proposing fixes or theories about Reach at all.
And I believe you would be wrong, Reach was still a colony world, even if it was the military hub of the UNSC. As DaeFaron and Cobra pointed out they would need civilians to run the mines, factories, farming, and whatever else would be required. It is true that TFoR doesn't make mention of any cities on Reach, but TFoR didn't say that Harvest was the primary export of the UNSC's farm produce. So I don't see why having a city on Reach would be a problem at all.
