And neighbors? Hah! My first apartment was expensive and ”nice”, but my neighbor upstairs made every effort to make loud noise at 2am every night. My second apartment is an efficiency. Same kind of neighbor, but at least I'm not paying out the nose for this poor treatment at the new place. And the stalking...ever heard of ”gangstalking”? That's what the neighbors do. They gang up on you and make you feel uncomfortable on purpose. Total strangers at the supermarket will say and do f'd up things just to distract you.

I've had the pleasure of meeting all 13M Pennsylvanians, and I assure you, they're not so bad.

Maybe you are the problem?

You haven't met Tibbs. He was the guy who didn't answer when you said hello.

Yes, but in every other state except PA, they call him “Mr.” Tibbs.

It's a Pennsylvania thing.

So I have no dog in this fight, but I have seen this kind of thing play out elsewhere, and in my experience, people who say "People who live in X are the worst!"... as well as people who say "People who live in X are just the most wonderful people!" are both biased and oversimplifying. You've got kind, friendly people everywhere, and you've got difficult, belligerent people everywhere. And I think whether you're the townies or the newcomers, people should just try to live by the Golden Rule.

It's true.

There are some regional characteristics in personality, but they're often overblown. At their core, people are people.
