But I know, the yokels don't want growth, don't want good jobs, don't want development, because that hurts their "quality of life."

And for any potential newcomers, I hope you choose to move to places like York, because such places need you more than some of the locals might want to admit.

Well, in south central PA, every county grew by 4% or more, with the exception of Dauphin.

Well, I live in MD now and hate it, and I'm from Ohio originally. But I plan to move to Chambersburg so my family will have a better quality of life. My husband will commute to MD for work, but I will get to stay home with my kids...something I could never afford to do in MD. I will be buying an existing home, not building a new one, and my husband will do many hours as a volunteer firefighter in our community. But from what I read, people will hate us anyway. Oh well!!
