Ohio is inevitable, even in Brooklyn

Details: The commercial is a dig at the coasts wrapped in an invitation to move. It makes a pitch for those who "care more about low taxes than tall buildings" and ends with an eye-roll-inducing "We're not built for followers. We're building for leaders."

• The commercial is both a little catchy — at least for the first 50 viewings — and completely over the top.

Why it matters: Commercials for major sporting events cost major money. This one is sponsored by JobsOhio, the state's "private economic development corporation."

• Ohio is spending millions on this barrage, including close to 30 JobsOhio billboards that popped up in New York last year.

📬 The overexposure made me curious — how do you feel about your state spending dollars collected from liquor sales profit to advertise to new residents? Should Ohio focus more on skyrocketing housing costs than convincing Brooklyn hipsters to move, or is an influx of denim-clad coffee snobs like me ultimately a good thing?
