What places in the United States have yuppies that show off the wealth tremendously through what they have (car and clothes)?
I have a few cities that come to mind:

Naples, FL
Winter Park, FL
Coconut Grove, FL
Orange County, CA
Coral Gables, FL
Encino, CA
Highland Park Dallas
Washington DC

Half of Coconut Grove is crime-ridden and ghetto, and the other half is not as rich as people in Coral Gables. I don't know why it's a choice on here.

Good portions of Bergen, Westchester, and Fairfield counties can be thrown in the mix.
I lived in a blue collar area in Bergen County, so it wasn't as bad, but materialistic folk was still there solely because of its surroundings.

Good chunks of Manhattan fit the bill entirely. (Soho, Chelsea, Upper West Side)
