[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I live in Gettysburg. Yes, the surrounding areas are inhabited by (vocal) Trump supporters, but the town is quite nice. Our mayor is a Black woman, we have a robust Juneteenth celebration every year, and a Black history museum. There is a large MLK Day service, as well as many public events during February to honor Black History Month. There is also a not so small Latino population, around 15%, with an associated cultural center and other programming to bridge the gap between the Spanish speaking population and non-Hispanic majority.

Lots of people have retired from DC here. They enjoy the amenities of a college town, proximity to DC, lower taxes and housing prices, and safety. If you look at the county level or or House District the politics are undesirable to someone who is liberal to moderate. There is an issue of retaining professional POC, but that is being addressed by local employers to the extent that they have control over it.

I'm not trying to sell it on anyone, as we need more affordable housing for locals and there are likely more welcoming places for POC, but its not nearly as bad as some PP have painted it. Harrisburg is larger and the Black population is actually the majority, at just over 50%. The Latino population is slightly larger than the White population of Harrisburg. It's on an Amtrak line so has easy access to both Philadelphia and NYC.

I don't recommend York or Lancaster to anyone.[/quote]

I thought both York and Lancaster are more up and coming? Am I wrong? Why don't you recommend York or Lancaster? Thank you! [/quote]

Have you ever been to York? If you're seriously considering it just.. go spend some time there and make your own decisions. [/quote]
