Maybe, okay a few would miss Manhattan but most of the so-called "flyover country" gets tired of being put down by New Yorkers who are first at the federal trough every time.
I don't have time to do the research now, but IIRC various studies have demonstrated the NYC gets a lot less from Washington per capita than a lot of other places. Sure, we can be arrogant, but when was the last time your heard a kid say "When I grow up I want to go to Tulsa and become a famous actor." :-)
