That's what I thought before moving to NYC. After being here a few years, I've found New Yorkers are rather more provincial than I had expected and many don't have any idea what "not New York" (or at least the tri-state area) is like. At this point I think a majority of people who live in NYC do so because they already live here.

My theory on that is because Manhattan is so great, and the immediate surroundings are relatively so much worse in many ways (opinions vary but it's generally accepted). So, they get the idea that this trend just continues indefinitely, the further away you get the worse it gets.
