Reply to comment by MrKamikazi in Any Feedback and Perception of the city of Lebanon, PA? by hispanicnj

If you think the homeless situation is bad or depressing in Lancaster go to any other city in the state, especially the cities surrounding Lancaster. Not just York but Reading, Harrisburg, Coatsville, philly. I was referring to Lancaster county as a whole but the city has a lot to offer also. Gallery row on prince st, the vintage and hand made shops on queen st, the oldest operating central market in the state (country also I believe) the convention center and nightlife downtown. Lancaster city also has multiple large parks within the city and much of the city enjoys tree cover. Excellent local produce and livestock keep the many restaurants stocked. I could keep going but I'm about to go to a free concert downtown for Hispanic heritage month.

That local livestock also leads the Lancaster area having some of lowest air quality in the country

No that's because of field prepping for mono cropping, I farmed in Lancaster and my brother farms in York. We don't have factory farming on that scale in Lancaster, it's from the corn

According the Lancaster AG council there are 359 thousand pigs in the county and 20xs more hens than people.

I'm sure my observations were biased by my focus on downtown.
