I know another list, but the top5 in PA, well I don't think Brandon will be going back to Scranton to retire.

Pennsylvania? Are you kidding me? Who would want to live in an East Coast liberal state? With John Fetterman as your senator.

I was initially confused and curious about this article until I saw Youngstown OH at number 9.

I then realized that this must be a joke article.

Having worked in Harrisburg (1) and Lancaster (3), and resided in both Reading(2) and Allentown(5), I can say that this list is an absolute joke.

I live in Arkansas and I don’t see this. People are moving here from those places this article say are great for retirement.

Well, I guess the traffic can’t be that bad there.

"U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice,..."

Ummm, NOT!

"This year’s list evaluated the country’s 150 most populous metropolitan areas based on how well they meet Americans' expectations for retirement,..."

Pass. Not where I'm looking to retire. My expectations lean towards moderately populated, at the most.

1. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

2. Reading, Pennsylvania

3. Lancaster, Pennsylvania

4. Scranton, Pennsylvania

5. Allentown, Pennsylvania

6. New York City, New York

7. York, Pennsylvania

8. Daytona Beach, Florida

9. Youngstown, Ohio

10. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

_________

Sponsored by the Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce?

Houses may be cheap in some of those towns, but why is NYC on the list?

I can’t see Harrisburg’s appeal. I was there five weeks ago, and noted the higher cost of food and gas everywhere.

I live outside of Harrisburg. I’m getting out of dodge if it ever becomes affordable to buy a home again. I don’t get along with winters very well anymore and quite honestly the economy here is built on government. The number one employer is state government. The number two employer is the federal government. That makes a tremendous number of people that I have little in common.

Any state that “elects” Federstein isn’t a good place to retire to.

New York City being #6 tells you all you need to know about this list.

Yes. Go there. Everybody, please. Stay out of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, etc. Those places really suck. Go to Pennsylvania. It’s awesome there.

This list is obviously influenced disproportionately by two factors: (1) extensive health care facilities, and (2) no PA state tax on retirement income.

First thing I looked at was the source - I figured this had to be from Babylon Bee or Semi-satire/Semi-news.

Maybe the PA Gov. is paying USN&WR in a poor attempt to stem the flow of those fleeing the state.
