Mostly the latter, from my 4+ decades of experience, the first 2 decades of which I lived on the other side of the equation.
But, TUP is right that there was more hostility back in the '80s/'90s when the city was loosing a lot of businesses to the burbs, culminating in Sears moving out of their iconic world's tallest building headquarters in the loop to a monumentally anonymous suburban office park campus way the fuck out in the burbs.
And look how well Sears has turned out for it.
