Yes, that's true, and I may act like that sometimes myself. Pesonally, I think it's more a love-hate relationship with a bit of a 'we can criticize it but you can't' type of mentality thrown in.
Being born and raised somewhere inevitably gives you a different outlook on that place, compared with those that have only known it in their adult life. This isn't to say that one knows more than the other, just that one sees things differently from the other. My image of London is a mish-mash of childhood memories and current realities. As such it's an image filled with the same mix of great happiness and sadness that you'd expect to find in any life.
