And yet one of my PA friends is always dumping on PA and encouraging me to move to her second home in Arizona. I could go mad with all the mixed-up advice!
If that friend happens to be in Filthadelphia or Harrisburg, it's understandable, but not nearly representative, as most PAmericans hereabouts despise those vile holes.
Out here in the low mountains and peaceful rivers it's a whole different thing.
(too damned hot in AZ ;-)
PA isn’t all Philadelphia or Pittsburgh.
It’s a great gun friendly state. Unlike the People’s Hell of NJ.
Well, if you want to pay very low property taxes, central PA is a great place to retire. It doesn’t get as cold as Buffalo but it can’t compete with AZ. You can get a decent farmhouse for well under $100k, and if you take the time to hunt you can find good solid homes for under $50k, in low crime neighborhoods.
But if you don’t enjoy winter, think twice!
How could I forget! If gun ownership is a major factor in your selection process, pick Pennsylvania every time.
