In other words, Pennsylvania paid a lot of money to promote itself...

C'mon, man. It's a great place to live. It produced the most popular POTUS in our nation's history.

That list is pure BS.

The Job Market Index is one of the six factors considered for the ratings. Why would you use the Job Market Index for a study about places to retire?

I have family in the Youngstown area . . . they want to move to north LA because it is so much nicer than Youngstown . . . so let that thought sink in.

Literally the most depressing city I've ever been to. It's hard to describe, but you can just feel the opioid epidemic in the air when you're there.

Shitty list but Harrisburg PA is a great town

Someone needs to tell them nobody retires to the north when they’re old.

They think those ole factory baws want to shovel snow in their 70s and 80s?

The Rust Belt is so cheap and depressing, you can find good value on housing there.

Noleppo has a ton of problems but there's no way Crackson is better. All the same problems plus no water, no amenities, and worse weather.
