FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot

Yes, you can tell just by voter turnout percentages. I was really hoping that all the attention elections were getting would help people understand that your local elections matter just as much, if not more, but instead we just got a buncha tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists who just go deeper every time their theory is debunked.

I live in Monroe County and I read somewhere that approximately 45% of all the housing units in the county are owned by out-of-staters typically as vacation homes.

In the last few years more out-of-state investors are also coming in to buy and eventually flip while running crappy absentee landlord party house Airbnb's in the meantime that make life noisier and more trashy for their full-time resident neighbors with long commutes who just want to get some sleep.

Plus the traffic. Every third or fourth car I pass is a front-plater and it gets old fast dealing with rude ignorant tourists on the road when we already have enough locals like that.

The Poconos Mountains Visitors Bureau keeps promoting the area in more and more places to jam even more tourists in but the service sector tourism jobs are crap and the infrastructure here can't handle any more resorts and now we're getting warehousing too.

I'd like to get out of the Poconos and eastern PA in general after living here for 50+ years but everywhere else seems to be having problems too. There's no 'there' there to escape to anymore.
