What are the two most expensive properties on the Monopoly board?  Boardwalk and Park Place.  Boardwalk implies beachfront property.  Park Place is probably next to a park, and parks are generally nice.

What are the two cheapest properties?  Baltic and Mediterranean.  Baltic and Mediterranean.  Because immigrants live there.

The next cheapest?  Oriental.

Not quite sure why Vermont and Connecticut follow Oriental.  But I’m sure there’s a reason that’s, you know, insidious.
