Tesla trucks are pretty ubiquitous at this point, PP. Where have you been?

About 12,000 cybertrucks have been sold so far, hardly ubiquitous.

Three in one day, outside of a factory or otherwise explainable hot spot, is pretty unusual.

I went to college in Cincinnati and Hyde Park is... interesting. The city as a whole is fairly segregated and people seem to live in their own bubbles without much self-awareness. Everyone, literally everyone, sends their kids to private school. The poor kids go to private Catholic schools, and it goes up from there.

Interesting, I grew up in Hyde Park, Cincinnati. Would be interested in reading the book. My life was far from posh though.

There are rich people everywhere but when I think of Ohio I definitely don’t think posh.

There used to be some fantastic decrepit mansions in East Cleveland. Like $800k for some sprawling European crafted estate but 50 grand in property taxes every year and you’d need to make your walls a fortress. Fantastic for a Miss Havisham-style character trying to hold onto lost grandeur.

“Posh” isn’t often used in the US but everyone got the meaning. And there’s rich areas in every state.

What is an “American” word? Do most Americans not speak English? Where are you from?

New Albany (near Columbus) for rich new money. Lots of big homes but it barely existed prior to about 1990.

Bay Village, Rocky River, Orange Village, Beachwood, Moreland Hills all near Cleveland. Westlake also is where a bunch of football players were rumored to live especially if they had families. As a person who grew up in Cleveland, the Shaker Heights stuff is ehhhhh. It has appeal for a certain type of person and people who grew up there but it’s not for everyone. In the DC area the equivalent would be something like Belle Haven in Alexandria vs. McLean, Oakton, parts of Great Falls before you get too far out.

Indian hill , Mariemont, Terrace park and Hyde park. A lot of my friends growing up had entire suites! I could go to their house and no one in their family would know. Moving to the DC area was a cultural shock because everyone’s house seemed so small!

Posh? Are we British?

For some reason certain American-born millennials have adopted British vernacular and sometimes even accents.

It’s extremely tiresome.

I agree with New Albany. Columbus is where the money is being made in Ohio these days. While new money, there seems to be lots of it in New Albany.

The British spoke English, last I checked.
