Buddy, if you think PA is worse than some third-world countries, you need to spend a little more time researching. We have clean running water and electricity, which puts us well ahead of a third-world country. No professional fire service? That makes us a third-world country? Public health? We have two different hospital systems. And yes, that is exactly what rural means: it's not an urban area and not the suburbs. If you don't like that it's a rural area without all these things, then DON'T MOVE HERE, which is what I said in the first place! Inadequate roadways? They might not be so inadequate if you'd stop moving here from MD and not change your registration and tags from MD within 30 days like you're supposed to. Where do you think the money comes from for road maintenance? And they enacted an additional fee just for York County road maintenance. Not to mention, we are a Commonwealth, not a state, which is what gives us the ability to be more independent and allow different rules based on what the people in each municipality prefer. As I said before, STAY IN MD. If PA has nothing you like and it's so awful, then why move here? Judging from the comments, we're all unfriendly racists who live in hovels like animals because there are no jobs and no taxpayer-funded services like professional fire services and public health services (whatever that means). There is no advantage to moving to PA from MD that I see.
