I mean it's highly dependent on what is important to you. We were relocated here from Indiana for an engineering job and have lived in several other states. PA is one I won't miss when we eventually move on from here. It's basically like a lot of other states though, the cities have more liberal people/policies and then there's the rest of the state which is very red.

We are in Lancaster County, 2 miles off the turnpike, 45 minutes from West Philadelphia, 2 hours from NYC. It's mostly a bunch of Trumpers and Bible thumpers in the rural area but getting to civilization doesn't take long. You figure out how to avoid most of the locals. I'd recommend looking at the West Chester area if you have the financial means, professional job opportunities should be pretty good there and you can stay out of hicktown and avoid the Amish buggies.
