western pennsylvania is underrated. i want to move here>picturesque rolling hills, forests, and countryside>thousands of historic and walkable towns youve never heard of>pittsburgh for the city fix>cheap to live>overwhelmingly huwhite
>>200169449>Pennsylvania>cheap to liveisn't it one of the wealthier states
>>200169449Looks comfy, but it has to have a creek where you go for a walk with your dogo during summer or swim grill party with friends.
>>200169449comfy
>>200169496No, it is a shithole. Pennsylvania in the east, Pittsburgh in the west, and Alabama in the middle.
>>200169966* Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west, and Alabama in the middle
>>200169449>lots of nature>doesn't look too walkable but not a car centric dystopia either>buildings look old-timey and soulfulbet this place is like 99% white
>>200169449These rural areas are absolutely terrible to live in. They look good only in cherry picked pictures during the summer
>>200169496Like anywhere in the US it's wealthy pockets surrounded by rundown rural poverty Half the state is Appalachia
>>200170178Why? They live off federal gibs like any other city slickers, what's so different?
I sometimes research pittsburgh
>>200170178>absolutely terrible to live in>cherry picked pictures during the summeris this still true for someone who loves snow and winter?
>>200170643Every thing is old, rundown, inefficient. It's only populated by old boomersThere's no jobs so no young professionals, no families, nothing. It's just boomers waiting to die
>>200170643>live off federal gibsWhere the fuck are you learning things about the US? Because that's a load of bullshit.
>>200171249The northeast is absolutely brutal in winter and it stays cold and snowy for months t. lived in both Pennsylvania and upstate NY
I went to Penn State and spent a year in Pittsburgh after I graduated. I’m probably going to move back there this year. In my opinion, Pittsburgh is pretty good and there are some scenic landscapes across Pennsylvania but the cities and towns of Western Pennsylvania are pretty depressing.
>>200171323Upstate New York has much harsher winters than Pennsylvania. The only parts of Pennsylvania that have roughly the same amount of snow and same temps are the Erie area and arguably the Northern Tier. The rest of Pennsylvania from Scranton to Pittsburgh is a bit milder and the Philadelphia area is much milder.
>>200171249I’m a big fan of Pittsburgh and State College in the winter, personally. I’ve lived in both and as someone who also likes winter, I found found them both much more pleasant than most other places I’ve lived.
>>200170643American towns and cities don’t really get government gibs like in other countries. Basically only boomers blacks and Hispanics get gibs.
>>200171340what makes them so depressing anon? i think the cities and towns in my state are more depressing because the city centers and inner neighborhoods have all been BTFO by suburban flight. driving through western pennsylvania, you get the sense that this never happened, like they still look the same as they did in 1950. its a whole different vibe
Lancaster is an underrated gem.
>>200171709They’re stereotypical Rust Belt/Appalachia towns for the most part. Old, rusty, crumbling infrastructure, aging populations, young people with drug problems, few jobs, shitty schools, etc. The biggest problem is the drug problem obviously. I suppose it’s a bit better in Western Pennsylvania than in Eastern Ohio or Northern West Virginia due to the proximity to Pittsburgh and the public lands, but not a whole lot better. Just look up news headlines from some of these towns. Even Pittsburgh has a lot of that post-industrial decay in it and Pittsburgh is really a pleasant city imo.
Stop showing the foreigners what 90% of America looks like you faggots. We have enough illegals trying to get in already.
>>200171934Lancaster is majority Puerto Rican now.
>>200169449Yeah but you have to deal with Bob Nutting running the Pirates
>>200169966When Alabama's collective IQ is higher than Philly's, your snarky comment falls on its face.
>>200171323Conditions fit only for an Aryan.
>>200169966The Alabama in the middle sentiment is so funny because it’s nothing at all like Alabama. The whole North section is public land and the southern section is basically just small lake towns until you get to Harrisburg.
>>200170943What do you mean you research it?
>>200171934West Chester > Lancaster. Similar sort of town but better demographics and closer to Philly.
