Anything under 50k means the place will need 150k of work to be anywhere near livable. At lot of those west PA houses are literally 150 years old.

You have zero privacy, everyone knows who lives in each building, everyone is dirt poor, you're living 3 feet from everyone else, there's ONE place to get groceries, ONE place to get pizza, ONE place to drink, and ONE fine dining restaurant, so if you piss anyone off then you're shut out of society. The town has 18% of the population that it did 100 years ago.

The area is absolutely beautiful in the summer - I've been to State College and Williamsport, go live there where there are actually golf courses to play, gyms to work out at, restaurants to take women on dates to, high speed internet, home improvement stores, and homes on decent sized lots.

Not bad for WFH since everyone w/brain left after they shut down the steel mills and coal mines or died by now. If you never dealt with small town culture you will be in shock. There will be only one plumber, electrician, hvac guy, one dentist, one dr, etc... So what one influential person thinks about you so will the rest of the town.

I just saw your post KEK. It's funny how urban/suburban retards think they mesh with the sticks. They can survive, but it's upon the basis that they welcome the idea of being a blank check to the community until they spill blood or due time, eg marry some judges daughter or their grandkids do.
