Reply to comment by Itsshrovetuesday in Fellow Pennsylvanians, we must join our neighbors from r/Maryland to defend our territory from the Delawarean scourge! by MPA_Dad

I grew up in southern Delaware, moved to pa with family in 2012. It’s so sad going back now to visit friends, just every single patch of woods or field has been turned into a housing development. The traffic is also horrible.

Totally agree! It's insane how many stupid Ryan Homes developments have gone up since we moved back to PA. So many people in such a small area was a huge reason why we moved.

I grew up in PA but lived all of my childhood summers in Lower Slower and I too get sad when I see all of the development. When is enough, enough?

A lot of people I know who were born and raised there are also leaving and moving to Maryland or to the western side of Delaware due to the prices too. They aren’t building 200-250k homes, it’s all 450k+ McMansions. I look up homes for sale sometimes and I could never afford to live in the area I grew up in, and we were not rich lol

The development in Bridgeville where 404 and Rt 13 come together, I remember when that was just woods and fields. Who the hell even wants to live that far inland? It takes an hour to get to the beach in summer traffic from Bridgeville.
