Not by choice I once had to work in NY City for an extended period.
Just about everyone I met there believed that New Yorkers were smarter, sharper, harder to get the best of in a deal, and the envy of the rest of the country.
Yet they elected the fathead, incompetent, do-nothing, carpetbagger, Hillary Clinton to the US Senate twice and keep electing the most incompetent, tax & spend leftists as Governor.
But the further away from NY City you travel upstate, in the smaller villages and towns, the more normal the people - as long as you avoid the other large cities which more and more seem to be turning into welfare distribution centers and plantations for democrat voters.

Provincials. Most of them, at least. Funny about that. I also found that attitude prevalent in small towns, mid-sized cities and in other countries.
In fact, the entire world is one big Lake Wobegon.
The only person I’ve ever met to admit he wasn’t all that, was a polyglot ophthalmological surgeon with a speciality in retinas, two visiting professorships at two very highly respected medical schools, numerous articles and a fantastically generous and humble person.
J - you really are all that.
