Biased is a good term.
You could say they are being unfairly biased. You could say they are being myopic or short sighted (which is only metaphorical).
If I believe Seattle is the best city without living many other cities over the world I am being many things:
Biased
Shortsighted
Obstinate
Prejudiced
Prepossessed
If you showed favor over one race then you use the word "racist" however I don't think there's a work of that similarity or function to describe the same unfair bias of one's city.
A "City'ist"?

this word, the one i cant remember now, i heard on some npr broadcast...
fastfour's word rings a bell, something like it but having to do with location... loco-centrism anyone?
rice it doesnt have to be a city,and the bias could go either way. i think the word was meant as a location in general, it could be your state or bedroom i suppose.
