Depends on the city. There's a good argument to be made that a city like NYC which gets wealthy off the financial industry is a "taker", but it's a lot harder to make that argument about a city like Houston which produces energy or a city like San Francisco that produces technology.

I would argue that San Francisco is the tech equivalent of those finance companies in the original comment - it’s just concentrating the wealth from the surrounding areas (or now, worldwide) into a few square miles of SoCal.
