Comment on When a place is called " Heights", what does "heights" mean/refer to?
tygerprints@kbin.social 11 months agoYeah but "Arlington Flat as all Fuck" isn't quite as appealing as "Arlington Heights." It's like adding "Grove" or "Hills" to the end of a town to make it sound more upscale instead of "sits on top of a massive landfill."

Yeah it’s just marketing. I think 99pi even had an episodes about it

It's funny because the area where I grew up was kind of a dumping ground but now, you can't find a home there for less than 10 millions, even older one story brick houses. What is so appealing about Utah that our housing prices are so astronomical? We don't have many towns with "heights" after their names!
