The urbanites definitely have disdain for the suburbanites around here. Usually it manifests in snide remarks about places close to the city having more "character." I once straight-up told my coworker that if "character" meant her 70-year-old house had an ancient sewer line burst underneath it, while my house is twice as big, cost 2/3rds as much, and has modern pipes made of actual metal instead of layered tar paper... then she was welcome to all the character the city had to offer.
