If you’re from “Pennsyltucky” it’s a great, accessible stepping stone to bigger cities.
I went to U Penn too and U Penn isn't Pennsyltucky. You're thinking of rural Penn.
I am aware. You said “people from somewhere worse” like Philly. The “somewhere worse” is rural Pa (“Pennsyltucky”) I’m from there and it was the closest & easiest big city to get started in. It was where the ambitious & educated people moved to from where I grew up. They didn’t all stay there (some went on to bigger cities afterwards), but many did.
Then they have kids and move from those big cities back to the suburbs again though. Cycle of life.

The whole metro area has an attitude problem. If you think it's great, move there. You can easily work remotely from there, and the train is easy. But obviously it isn't that great else it would be more expensive because the houses can be quite nice.
Don't most places think they are great? Ie new Yorker, Californians c? Why the hate when philadelphians do it?

But if you want to live in an SFH in Chestnut Hill & send your kid to Penn Charter or Germantown Academy, and also save up for private college, that’s going to add up quick.
You don't have to send them to private school. My sis and I went to Girls' high and my brother central
