It’s just a low pressure place to live. The cost of living, the commutes, the people, it’s like someone just took a bit of pressure out of the tires. It’s a small big city. It has all, or at least most, of what people want in a big city, sports, museums, universities, proper urban areas, it has a lot of big city stuff while being small.
Cons are air quality, lots of cloudy rainy days, little if any population growth, low cultural diversity.

Lookup goodrx for discounts on your meds if you are buying outside of insurance at the pharmacy . Can save quite a bit of money that way.

Reply to comment by PregnantSuperman in How Doug Mastriano’s run for Pa. governor veered far off course by neverjumpthegate
PA broke the two terms and switch pattern with the governor’s office by ousting Corbett by one term and has followed it up with 3 straight dem wins, which hadn’t happened since the 1840s.
Pa demographic changes are slow but interesting. Population wise SE PA has been growing slowly, Pittsburgh is flat, and rural, small town PA is shrinking. Politically, That’s offset by small town PAs long shift from union backing blue dogs to the hard right. That shift is not going to change most likely but it will max out at some point. And if SE pa continues to slowly grow...is it crazy to suggest the state might be slightly trending blue?

That’s a good point. The difference though is we don’t have direct nationwide voting any representation. We vote at the state level even for things like president. We do have direct statewide voting.

Seems to me people voting in a statewide election should be held to the same standard. This isn’t that.

A dude yesterday wanted to talk to me about vigor. I’m picking a lawmaker, not Zorro. I’m not going to pick the dude that’s going to pass laws I hate. Period.

Well I’m not suddenly going to be pro life, vote to take away my own social security and support judges that take away my healthcare because of a debate.
