What are the associations of the word "Heights" in a city name? [closed]
Solution 1:
In the 19th century most big cities weren't particularly pleasant places. Horses, coal fires and limited sanitation meant they were dirty and smelly. The best places to live was on a hill in the fresh clean air - so XXX heights was the upper class area of the city. Or later, a marketing slogan for a new area to give the impression of luxury
Golan heights is a high plateau on the Israel/Syria border with rather more strategic than real estate value.
