I know someone from York. She says a lot of the problems come from the people fleeing Baltimore to York, and how it contrasts oddly with the “I’m from PA but fly a confederate flag” crowd.

I'd be willing to bet that 80% of the residents of southern York County are 1 generation or less moved here from Baltimore (and consequently doubled the school taxes for everyone, which they constantly bitch about now). So awesome having an older modest home where you pay $1500 in property taxes and an additional $4500 in school tax annually, where it was about a third of that 15 years ago.

Food scene here is more crime scene. Mexitaly's chimichanga, for instance: what if we put burrito ingredients in something that eats like a bread bowl? It's also gotta be said York people, Roburrito's sucks. It's well put together but flavorless. Cracker Barrel levels of bland. Jalapenos in Shrewsbury is legit though. There's some good stuff but wading through the bad is a true displeasure.
Super_C_Complex t1_izdox1v wrote
I'm sorry. But that's all Mexican places that aren't the legit Mexican places. The holes in the wall are where it's at. You're acting like Qdoba should be gourmet.
And the food scene in York is not bad at all. In the city you have the left bank, Roosevelts, and the central market.
In the rest of the county you have so many options.

yeah. dude reads like someone who grew up there and is so desperate to get out that they are blinded to what the area offers by what they think other areas offer more of...
ive lived in about 7 different states, from big cities to small towns, and york has a pretty impressive food/downtown scene. ive been to a few shows out that way when i lived in philly, and every time we went out there, we were impressed by the food options. like. no shit, its not philly. but for its size its not devoid of culture.
i also lived in reading for a while... pretty much the heart of authentic mexican food in the region... and roburrito is fucking legit. ohh... im sorry. they dont have $1 tacos de cachete. turns out you can have mexican joints that arent authentic. its called variety.
(i also dont want to blow the guys mind and tell him that their are also authentic mexican places down there.)
internetonsetadd t1_izg1zcz wrote
I grew up in Montco and Philly. I've lived in York County for a few years. I love it here, but I've learned I can't count on reviews to find good food. I'm not particularly picky, my take isn't a foodie's perspective at all. A lot of what I've tried simply wasn't good. That doesn't mean there isn't good food here.
The modern burrito originated in San Francisco, so I wasn't looking for "authentic" Mexican, just a good burrito. Roburrito's isn't it.

Dude we moved to GA and the town we lived in first barely had any deer. Then we moved a couple towns over, got more land. Now we see 5+ a day on the property. Even though they are the same type as up north, they just don't act as crazy as the ones in PA. In 7 years here I haven't had a close call with a deer, but in PA it was 2-3 a week with a full on impact twice.

Never hit a deer, not even in PA. I remember back after I graduated, I was driving this shitty truck to work. It would stall out while driving 70mph. I had to turn it off and back on while driving. Lights would turn off and everything. Plus, it was winter so we had them North western PA snow falls. The deer would always jump in front of me while driving that road, and once while I stalled out.

Parts of it were Virginia until an agreement in 1779 that extended the Mason-Dixon line to a fixed point 5 degrees west of the Delaware River and drew Pennsylvania's western border as a true north-south straight line rather than a tracing of the course of the Delaware. This was done to compensate Pennsylvania for territory that it ceded between the Mason-Dixon line and the 39th parallel.

If Eastern PA annexed DE they would immediately stop being the US tax haven cuz of PA tax law.
In reality, DE and South Eastern PA (the Philly & Metro counties including Chester, Lancaster, Berks, Bucks, & Mont) have much much more in common with each other than they do with Western PA. It would actually be a decent match up. Leaving Western PA to do it's far right wing whatever.
Then Pittsburgh/SWPA could return to West Virginia like they were gonna do.
The Philly/DE combination could have their weed, abortion, gun laws, public transit and city life plus the beaches. Maybe even offset some of the high philly taxes with the no tax DE laws. West Virginia would probably elect better leadership and have a stronger economy. Pennsyltucky/WestNY would be able to have their low tax, no weed, mandatory gun, corporate controlled, maga dream land.
Really it would be a win for everyone.
Patiod t1_izee7jk wrote
This is the solution. Clearly.
And we'd have to relegate my alma mater Penn State to Pennsyltucky, but once I saw people wearing "Penn State cammo" to games, I had already resigned myself to that.

I think you're all missing the upsides. No more PennDOT, for one. I'd be surprised if DE's tax structure was more regressive or unfair than ours, simply because that's such a high bar in the first place.
Their minimum wage is amost 50% higher than ours, an on track to be $15 by 2025 (not that this is in any way sufficient or remotely close to what it should be, but it's a hell of a lot closer than $7.25 and no plans to ever touch it again). This, naturally, raises all other wages in Delaware as well.
Local pride is one thing, but if I had the chance to live under a saner, fair-er, less-Republican state government, earn more and be taxed less (and have those taxes I do pay be used for something besides corruption once in a blue moon), I'd take it in a heartbeat.

1st state since PA was gonna own them 3 counties.
and that weird 12 mile circle.
I grew up in NJ, well.. actually it was delaware.
this plan will never work. can't have THAT MANY tax cuts n corp breaks for all those cities. and the highway tolls. York toO?? no damn way. save the white rose city. and the amish red rose city lancaster.

It's MD you should worry about.
I like to call it west Delaware. Stay out of the city, and DE is really nice.
Let's talk about how Marylanders are always driving across the border because that's where all the fun shit is.
Although, Delaware drivers are ass...

This map is highly inaccurate, nowhere is Philly mentioned on it. If you take York you gotta take Philly too

But we're going to abolish your sales tax and slash your property taxes! 😃
And you'll be able to invest in black license plates.
Win-win!

This isn’t about Philly. It’s about Delaware not being able to manage even a tiny city.
