As much as I'd love to have some wonderful chirstian neighbors, Pennsylvania
doesn't sound like a state you'd like to live in. The taxes are high (we
live in Daughin County, where the state capital is) land is extremely
expensive ( we are a mile outside of Hershey Pa, a big tourist area.) The
homeschool laws seem to be much stricter than most states. We have to file
our objectives, get it notorized, have an evaluator check everything at the
end of the year, then start all over again, and if you have a special needs
child its even more complicated. We bought our land from my inlaws or we'd
never been able to build in this area. Building lots go for around $50,000
for just a lot (1/2 acre or less). There was a 100 acre farm near us and
they wanted over 450,000.00 We live in an area that was mostly farm land
thanks to Milton Hershey and the Milton Hershey School for orphans, but after
they decided that the kids at the school could no longer work on the farms,
they've been sold off or built up or just abandoned The winters don't get
too cold, and we don't get a lot of snow but the humitity in the summer is
bad. The spring and fall are the best. We do live about an hours drive from
Lancaster, a large amish community, where there is more farms and land, but
its been overdeveloped for the sake of tourism.
