My mom grew up in Queens and my dad in Nassau -- they both worked in NYC for the duration of their careers and lived on Long Island since 1988. For context they were born in 1955 and 1956. The only time I recall hearing of some type of animosity towards Manhattan from those in the outer boroughs is when the media tries to create a narrative of Trump's psychology.

The demographics of Nassau County and NYC have changed so often throughout the past century that even tiny segments of Queens and Brooklyn change from year to year. Specifically when it comes to the economy -- I personally do not know anyone who can afford to lives in Manhattan, and it seems that Brooklyn is following quickly.
