Well yeah, unlike the Superman thing though. Barry isn't not allowed in Star City. Superman is allowed as well. The trope just means for the sake of the more powerful character not completely dominating the story, he will usually be too preoccupied elsewhere to handle the lesser threats.

For example, it's why the Avengers don't help out the Netflix MCU heroes, because their threats are perceived as too small so go unnoticed.
