wolfie don't ever forget that you're looking at the world through some really strange filters.

The reason PA is #2 is merely that its tiny little central towns retain all of their elderly and few of their youth. They even run ads trying to tell fresh college grads to stay in PA and not run off to the West Coast.

Half my friends over the last 20 years did run off to California, and only one came back, PA is destined to be part of the northern grey belt. How many young people are in Johnstown, Lebanon, Scranton, Altoona, Oil City?
