Poconos used to be small town/rural. It isn't anymore because so many people have moved here. Traffic is particularly bad because so many people who live here commute, many people commute through the area and we don't have very good public transport. We are basically a suburb of NYC and Jersey.

As someone born and raised in the Poconos, I would avoid the Poconos area as it’s filled with transplants from NY and NJ and the area as really seen a steady decline. I moved north outside Scranton where people are friendly and the cost of buying a house is much cheaper. There’s good internet, lots of forests and state parks, plenty of hospitals and any kinda shopping you could wish for in Dickson city.

Yeah. I’d add that they should look at Susquehanna County and Wayne County as well as the Lackawanna Valley.
