Not sure why this comment is getting down voted. But you are absolutely right.

I sure hope not. You should move on, quit relying on the government to help you and get out there.

Yes, the east side is not the best. It may be quiet now, but that is because it's winter. Just gotta know where to and not to roam

yeah its hard to find a decent car under 4k.

...?

There are billions of people on this planet and an infinite number of things to see and do and when someone says "leave your small town there's a lot of opportunity everywhere" your immediate response is "the grass is always greener, sounds like you like to run away".

I've snowboarded lone peak in Montana, I've done some of the biggest whitewater in the US, I've piloted an aircraft, my tattoo artist is in the UK, I've lived in a van for 6 months in Big Bend nat'l park, I've backpacked Mexico for a month, I have a wedding to go to in Africa in April, I've hiked sections of the AT and PCT...

And I'm from a poor family in Fayette fucking county.

I wouldn't be surprised if you... Got married, had children and bought a fucking house. (Correct me if I'm wrong: acknowledge if that's your dream).

Fuck outta here with your speculation and criticism.

I live in Erie as well and there are many places for under $1000 some are very nice too. I moved here from Mass and the cheap living is what keeps me from going back!

trust me bro I know this, im still wondering how tf did i go from living in nyc to this lol. im leaving i just need to figure out how im going to make real wages without having to commute 2 hours for decent work.

Moved to Fayette county this summer for the cheaper rent (in some areas) of course wages aren't as high out here either. Where I'm at is about an hour from some parts of Pittsburgh and like 20 minutes from Walmarts fast food etc. Not too bad.

Sounds like you just like to run away and avoid something. Fair enough. But you can seize the day in more ways than fleeing just saying

You won't know if the grass is greener or not unless you go for the hike.

The grass is always greener my friend. I think this is a national maybe even global issue

Don't blame the town. Leave.

Plenty of places in the country hire seasonally and house you. Spent half of my adult life bartending for tourists in different states during different seasons. Did 6 summers in Ohiopyle, most of them living in a vehicle.

You either got it or you don't.

Smart bot ✨

PA has a lot of dead end towns. Even the ones that are doing well are only working for a small group

Funny how often you'll see that headline over the years.

Just saw a headline that big oil is making record profits

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.

It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.

Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.

Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

I’m of the opinion people should have got $2k a month. Money really doesn’t matter in a world where we can print it but they like to watch hard working people suffer and austerity us all to death. Live fast or build for a future outside the status quo cus shit is getting worse

I would argue that high speed internet should be included in a request for cheap places to live.

I had a buddy in a small PA town who could only get satellite internet and when it snowed it didn’t work well. And it snowed often.

>Those student loans aren't getting paid off either.

Thanks Republicans! I for one am grateful people aren't getting aid but the poor downtrodden wealthy will get tax cuts and laptops get investigated 50 times!

No! I refuse. Yes this is a hill I'm will to die on!

You can rent entire homes in North Philly for less than $1,000

$500/mo studio and $800/mo 1 bedroom All of Bradford County, PA. So towns like Wyalusing, Towanda, Wysox, Rome, Troy, Ulster, Milan, Athens, and Sayre. Towanda is popular because it’s the county seat. But I’d say you will have more options in Sayre and Athens because landlords are often looking to rent to doctors completing their residency at Robert Packer/Guthrie. Also close to Binghamton and Elmira.

It's easy. Just remember, passing it doesn't make you competent.
