York is great. York hospital is awesome too, albeit has some recurring issues thanks to covid burnout.
But I'll be honest.
The southern part of the county is beautiful and historic, but terrible if you want a community to live in.
If you want a place to buy a building to live in. It's fine.

What's her opinion on the move and area?

Are you currently engaged, or are you saying you want to meet someone and get engaged in the next three years?
Because you might find it harder to meet someone in Southern York County than you expect.
It's a beautiful area. There are some great people. But it's sparse in areas. It's aggressively conservative in others. But also blown up with suburbs. I grew up in York and during the early 00's, that area blew up and taxes went up to support the necessary new infrastructure.
You might also not like the commute. 83 is a mess from so many People from Baltimore moving up there.
Gas, milk, and alcohol is more expensive.
But the milk is better

Pennsylvania doesn't tax retirement income.
But there are taxes paid before you contribute. Plus federal taxes are still taken out

Because it's true.
If you look at penn states expenses, tuition has gone up directly inverse to state funding.
State funding is lower now than 15 years ago

Sorry, you're right. Penn state actually gets less money from the state than it did in 2008.
https://budget.psu.edu/BotJuly/BoardDocuments%2022-23/bargraph.aspx
But sure. Let's say you have to spend less before the state properly funds a fucking state university.
This is the bullshit reason penn state is so expensive. Cuts to funding or general decrease in funding per student but then blatantly false allegations of overpaid administrators.
Bendapudi isn't making a million a year.
Buildings are necessary.
Professors are underpaid and penn state relies heavily on graduate and temporary professors because the state isn't funding it.
If, in a per student basis, Pennsylvania gave as much adjusted for inflation as it did in the 70s, tuition would be like 5k

You also have to figure in that the state hasn't increased funding for public schools since 2008
So call it corruption, or mismanagement. But the administration isn't bleeding the school dry. Republicans are

Less crime? You sure about that?
There's maybe less reported crime. But not less crime.
If you include all the murders the state police refuse to call murders, the violent crime per caps in huntingdon, Bedford, and somerset counties is higher than in Philly.
But a dead drug dealer is not considered a murder there. Unfortunately

Although if you count Beaver Stadium. There's temporarily 4 over 100k

People were asking for more information on order to help give you a better answer though.
Because if $1000 is high to you, there's not much we can do. But if you think $3000 is not high, then we can give you an answer.

Highway expansions never reduce congestion.
There will always be more cars than roads.
What we need is comprehensive mass transit

Yeah you're really close to the Coyahuga valley national park in Ohio too.
Went there and had a lot of fun.
Being close to Ohio is okay so long as there's no toxic spills

Lowest is 0 actually.
Certain farmland is exempt, children under 21 don't qualify, and property owned by spouses
But also, this is money owed on transfer and as much as the tax is the alternative is that it's taxed like income by the recipient.

Considering that it's the largest, and by itself is 1/8 the total population of the state, this makes sense.
It would be asinine for Philadelphia and Lancaster to have the same amount of representation

Just a reminder. There are people in jail for probation violations because these tests are bullshit.
Certain probation officers I know will intentionally fuck up the tests so they pop positive.
The only way to know what's actually in something is to send it for testing and even then your can't be sure since the labs are often in cahoots with prosecutors or are addicted themselves or just are bad at their job and do batch testing.

Because it's expensive.
Honestly there's been years of debating this and fighting this. But Rutters bought it. They want to put a store in there. And they said if someone wants to pay to move it they're free to do so, but no one ponied up.
There's fundraising going on now but it's probably too little too late.
Although I will say. Rutters is missing a huge public relations opportunity here. They should offer the balance of the money to move it now since that's probably cheaper than demo at this point, and then donate to the park it ends up in.
A "Rutter's helped save the Hoke house" would be great PR

They retire at 75% of their highest paid years. But that could include overtime.
So it could be higher than their salary if they get less overtime as they get older

I'm not sure why you're being down voted.
It literally says in the article that it would be a private company doing this and would require multiple people to lose their homes and farms.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that a private company can't exercise eminent domain so it would have to be up to the government. And I'm not sure if townships are given eminent Domain authority
