No but you certainly do not find the same level of services further out.

Though there are counties that have somewhat decent services but those are often paid for by a democratic city in the center being leeched off of by the suburban and rural drains

So what?

We also have less traffic and fewer sewer smells. Less crime, too.

So fun fact. I have dealt with PSP quite a bit in rural areas.

They're real bad at their job.

I can think of multiple murders they labeled as accidents to avoid reporting them. Multiple.

Rural pa is statically more dangerous than Philly you just don't know it.

And traffic? Who the fuck cares. Just give me a mass transit system

I can think of 3 instances where people were murdered and the police let it go as an accident because they knew they were involved in drugs and see it as no loss

That's 3 in one year in a county of less than 50k.

Absolutely understand. I was thinking about my high schools day up near Buffalo, NY. I went to a Catholic HS, and we had one calc teacher, one chemistry teacher, one AP English teacher, etc.

The local school district had about 5 of each, and a student could pick the teacher that worked best for them.

That's all I meant - better choice in a larger district.

And I get the benefits - I live in Chester County in an area that was semi-rural, but the McMansions have taken over (almost zero regional planning). I spend more time driving west and NW to Lancaster and Berks counties than I spend driving toward Philly! (But Philly does have world-class medical facilities and doctors)

PennMedicine has its tentacles all the way into the western suburbs of Harrisburg. And some of the largest high schools in PA are in... central PA. I believe Reading HS has long been the largest and McCaskey is at #3 or 4. McMansions are out this way, too. Some even built by Toll Bros. Please take back your townhome cluster jobs; they suck.
