None that I’d move to, myself.

I’d only go east of Chambersburg to see Alice Cooper or visit Gettysburg.

SW PA might as well be WV, demographically.

I’ve been to Kimberton PA to get Dobes and it’s beautiful, there.

Very rural with Philly an hour east.

It's called the "rust belt" because of its dependence on the steel industry and the decay that resulted from its decline and impacts on downline manufacturing.

I'm aware of all that. Freeper TheNext is the one who needed a definition of the term.

i can be 90 minutes from staten island and mom or SIX HOURS from staten island and mom.

I'm three days away from my mom by car, but we've all got our priorities.

Mine was to get my wife and kids out of SoCal and relocated to the best place I could find, which was North Texas.

The bad news is, they’re coming South, and bringing their politics with them.

As an escapee from what became an open cesspool of a city, I have often wondered why Wall Street remains in Manhattan. Given that the computer age has transformed the way banking and investing is done, I’d think the physical location of the industry could be just about anywhere.

Does this mean they will also loose some of their congressional seats ?

There are more conservatives and moderates in the refugee mix, than there are liberals.

I live in North Texas, which is a gigantic magnet for Americans looking for greener pastures. Most of the transplants I've run into here, are conservative refugees and reformed Democrats.

Definetly! The 2020 Census data will result in major shifts in Congressional districting!

Happening in Texas right now. As a Conservative I fled Los Angeles. Now I can only look in horror as others from California create here what they fled from.

Raleigh-Durham area is pretty nice, and the time zone is the same. DW has relatives there and I actually think that a lot of the financial shops are opening up big regiional offices all over the country.

Sometimes it takes a while for the tax issues to full sink in but the $10k SALT limitation should give Wall Street the willies.

Somewhere along the line, middle managers are going to figure out that their metro NY houses are not going to have much resale value and start getting while the getting is good.

Not just metro areas in NYS. I live in a rural area of Upstate NY. In my neck of rthe woods we’really seeing existing homes worth 200 grand saddled with almost five figs worth of property taxes...

Homes, if they sell, aren’t selling at or above assessed value because while folks can afford the price of the home, nobody wants to assume penurious property taxes.

I’m amazed at how many FReepers, even long timers, are unable to follow a thread and post properly.
It’s something I’ve seen increaseng a lot lately.
I wonder if the proliferation of “phone posters” as opposed to “desk top posters” is the reason. I don’t use a cell phone so I’m not sure.

Don’t want you here then.

Most best place for you is where you are.

To many city people bring their city ways with them.

They can be a plague on where they move to.

I hear western PA is beautiful and conservative.

Just stay away from Pittsburgh. And there is an ongoing fight to get rid of school property taxes in Pa. I hope it happens, but not going to hold my breath.

I figured you were aware, but it wasn't mentioned in your reply.
