I think it’s better to sit tight for a year or so. Anywhere in PA, between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, isn’t a bad spot to ride out possible trouble.
All lists of this type, will depend on the criteria used to evaluate these locations. All of us have various individual criteria we would use, to decide if we want to relocate at retirement.
The economy and interest rates need to recover first.
Florida, Pennsylvania, and a commie town in snow country. Thank God nothing around here was mentioned.
Ann Arbor, Michigan?!? The Berkeley of the Midwest, home of the University of Michigan.
No thanks.
Pennsylvania is a good place to retire? I’m in texas where I have very little use for My heat in October for my tiny but my electric bill is very high. Three times higher than last year. I can only imagine what it would be in Lancaster PA in January
These people are high on something if they think anyone is buying this. A single woman is going to move to the snow belt?
I spoke with a woman who had to be in PHilly for a couple of years studying at Villanova. She is from viet nam. She said she cannot get over the idea that in the US the crime is so bad in the city. She said it’s all so much lying
This is a lie.
This is not to be believed.
it also depends on whether those locales paid to be added to the list. Call me a cynic, but i can’t see PA being on this list at all. I would say places that have lower taxes and less government interference would be higher. ESPECIALLY if you are retiring and need to shepherd your funds.
I don’t know about those other cities. But Harrisburg, PA is a good place to live? What an odd thing to say.
Harrisburg is a tired old town with a crime rate considerably higher than the national average. Maybe it’s a good place to be if you’re in a fancy gated community, and plan to stay behind those gates all the time.
The winter can kill an old person there. LOL.
The consideration for property taxes in each of these areas going up as even well meaning conservatives move in.
Number 8 is problematic because of the number of do gooders in the area. Nothing drives up local property taxes like a few public park and public school boondoggles. The cheapness of teachers in that area of MI really hides a ton of spending.
The places where public services are impossiable to deliver are what is attractive, low amount of old timber, cleared range land in the great wide open, access to both surface and well water. Cheap firewood that can be picked up with a short walk. With Solar being so cheap, needing anythign other than your own private 100A to a meter shack.
Starlink has chaged the world for me, low latency bent pipe internet has me looking at properties that I would have never thought of. Lots of places with a pole barn and a house with a new roof at the end of a long driveway. Really dont want what is in town other than food. With land and 6 month frost free greenhouse, food is just work.
Pennsylvania has state taxes and commie controlled Stolen Elections.
Michigan has state taxes and there’s an open Nazi gang pljaguibg the otherwise nice community of Ann Arbor.
Forget those six recommendations. They’re ridiculous.
Well, Emily thinks An Arbor i’s a good place. /s
Btw, her last name is Brandon.
So ... where are the REAL best places for a Conservative to retire? Asking for a friend.
how about tennessee?
Don’t believe the US News. Florida is not a nice place. Don’t come here.
Look, we got alligators, snakes, spiders, hurricanes and Florida man.
Dangerous place I say. Heed the warning and stay away.

Pennsylvania has a flat (and low) state income tax rate, and doesn’t tax retirement account distributions or pensions. That’s the only reason these places are on this list.
There are no gated communities in Harrisburg City. There are a couple well defined areas of crime. Just look for trash in the front yards. There are a number of very nice neighborhoods outside the city, and plenty of very typical middle income areas.
Personally, I am drawn south, somewhere on the water and with lots of sunshine. I’m tired of winters here in PA, not so much because of snow and cold, it’s more like mud season with lots of cloudy, dreary days. But, autumn is nice, at least today. 67 and partly sunny.
First thought
But also, I want to go to a place where they want to put a completely ineligible cognitively deficient guy into the senate seat just because he is a democrat? What?
