If I had the means, I'd take NY over PA any day. College provided for kids? Most won't ever save that much on taxes.

If you are *really* concerned with schools, Northern Baltimore County is a superb public school area, it's an expensive, but wonderful area, and can likely fit your needs. I can't think of anywhere in rural PA that even comes close.

Thank you for your input.
What do you mean by "College provided for kids?"

As it stands, with several limitations, kids in New York state get full tuition covered by the state, up to 125k. Hell, most adults can take advantage of it too.

That alone covers the increased taxes for most individuals.

If your kids are smart and they grow up in NY, they have a good chance of getting into Cornell - NY's land grant school that is also an Ivy League school. A number of SUNY schools are top notch as well.
