As someone who has lived nearly my entire life in PA, these are not the best places to live. This video maker simply picked out the largest cities / towns and decided to make a video calling them the "best.' I honestly doubt this person has even been to PA. There are many great places to live in PA, but these aren't it.

They should rename this video to “Top ten places to live in PA, if your a meth addict”

Is anyone else from PA laughing at this list.... PA is a nice state and I am glad I live here but the list is so off. There are some really nice small towns in PA

I was looking for an honest list. You simply listed large cities in Pa. Philly , Harrisburg , Allentown , Scranton are cities I know well. If you don't mind high crime rates , these are the perfect places to settle down.

I live in Philadelphia and have lived just outside of Reading. Whoever made this must be on drugs.

This list bears no resemblance with reality. First, in PA we have a saying about York. "Come for the crack, stay because you're dead." York is a dump. Reading is even worse, being one of the most dangerous places in the entire northeast. A rust belted former industrial city, it is the east coasts Detroit. Lancaster honestly used to be nice, but all those rolling hills of agriculture are being paved over, and cost of living and crime have soared in the past decade. Harrisburg, the capital, is to my knowledge the only state capital in which you can be mugged on the stairs of the capital building in broad daylight. Enough said. Philadelphia is a pretty standard big American city. Expensive, dirty, and riddled with crime. Erie is pretty, but it too is a rust belt city. Once your done at the lake you can get get drunk, because there's nothing else to do. I've spent time all across Pennsylvania, and this guy has clearly never been there.

I live in Erie and have all my life. You can drive across the whole town in 15-20 minutes. Cost of living is low, and you can buy houses from $60K to $1M and most neighborhoods are decent. Inner city has its problems, so you’d want to stay away from there. The best thing is you’re 90 to 120 minutes away from Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo if you want to get away and enjoy some big city entertainment. And you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced “lake effect snow”! Very rarely does snowfall shut down the city. Erie is transforming itself from industrial to commercial and tourism businesses. We’re in the middle of 1/2 a billion dollars of new construction. A great place to raise a family.

A friend of mine wanted to move to PA. So I recommended this video. Two weeks later he said I ruined his life and shot me. I write this from my coffin.

One of the worst lists I've ever heard

I live in Pennsylvania. This list is not correct. Please please do your research. Thank you. Do you reside

As someone from PA, I can safely say that everything on this list is backwards

“Reading has low crime rates” *HA NO*

Most of these towns should be on the top ten list of places you don't want to live in PA! 😂

Scranton is in the northeast, not the northwest.

Every place has good and bad parts no matter where you live.

I audibly laughed when I saw scranton and reading pop up

As soon as I saw Philadelphia on the list, I was out.

this list is TERRIBLE, over half the towns mentioned are dumps. Thinking you looked at the cost of living stats and ignored the quality of life aspects.

I am originally from Allentown. I would not recommend moving there unless you are already familiar with the area. This is not a place for someone retiring if you want peace and quiet. It has become very expensive and if you think about purchasing residental property . Think twice. Most homes are very old and the city of Allentown has alot of rules and regulations (ordinances) that can make it difficult to rent your property and or sell it. I know from experience. Do your research prior to making a decision about moving to all the the places listed

There are pretty rural areas and some nice college towns. Slippery Rock, Clarion, Indiana, Grove City, and some novel town names--Mars, Zelienople, Slatelick, Frogtown, the Ohiopyle area near the Youghiogheny River. One of the interesting things about western PA is the history of Native American regions that include the Seneca, Shawnee, Adena, Hopewell, Monongahela, with attractions like the Meadowcroft Rock Shelter, and the annual Pow Wow celebration in Dorseyville.

Pennsylvania is so great I moved out and retired 3 years ago saving $ 6500.00 a year in property tax!

This list is trash. Reading???

Here are some actual good places to live in PA. Bethlehem, PA- I go to college there. It very nice, clean, and busy. It's beautiful all year round, but especially in winter. Milford, PA- There isn't much, but it's pretty here and lots of cute stores. There are a few historic buildings like Grey's Tower Dingmans Ferry- lots of woods and places for hiking and fishing.

I was an announcer for about 40 years. One of the first things I learned when I moved to an out-of-state station was the necessity of learning how to pronounce names like a local. A mispronunciation immediately puts your cred into question. When doing VO scripts, I made sure how to pronounce a place or a person. When an announcer clearly "knows" how something is pronounced and thoroughly screws it up, voracity is questioned. It's LANK-es-ter. Other cities ARE indeed LAN-KAS-TER, but not the one in PA. And the Schuylkill, despite what it may look like, is SKOO(l)-kill. Thank god you didn't have to pronounce "Amish."

This video reminds me of the station you get when you turn on a hotel TV/

This list should be called "Top 10 dumps in PA". Allentown resident out!

Lived in Erie my whole life and happy to say there are a lot of positive changes happening the past 5 or so years.

1) Scranton is not in northwestern PA; it's in northeastern PA. 2) No mention of the crime rate in the cities mentioned. 3) No mention of the drug problems that exist in the cities mentioned. 4) No mention of how bad the schools are in some of these places. 5) No mention of the unemployment rates or poverty levels most of these places. 6) I was born and raised in Erie, (which is northwestern PA). Good luck getting a job that will pay a livable wage if you go anywhere with the exception of Pittsburgh and Philly. Erie is definitely a retirement town. If you want a job in your actual career field, (outside of the ones mentioned), you'll need to move to a larger metro area or work remotely. 7) If you want to be informed on the best and worst places to live, watch Nick Johnson instead. 8) If you love meth, this is the perfect video for you.

The way this list was going, I was let down when Chester wasn't #1

Reading ? It's the #1 stolen car Capitol of Pennsylvania!

My grandmas cousin lives in York and from what I hear he loves it there but if there’s one place in Pennsylvania I want to live it has to be Gettysburg because it’s where some of my ancestors settled and fought for America in the civil war and i also want to live there because it’s a beautiful town with a lot of farms and log cabins and nice people and nice places to go hunting and camping

Correction: Scranton is not located in the Northwestern portion of PA. It is located in the Northeastern section of PA.

This list is a waste of time. Totally a lie.

Wow. Are you even from pa? You've listed the most dangerous areas in pa for the best places to live. I'd never live in these places. The crime rates and highest poverty rate in these "best" place to live are the highest in pa.

The north central boonies of PA was a great place to grow up back in the day, but getting out of there as a young adult many years ago was the best choice I ever made.

It's so amazing how Pennsylvania on America's map, seems to be like a perfect rectangular shape, hanging on 🙂🤣😅😆

Your nuts. This list is insane. Please for the love of god walk around these places before you just move. Reading and Scranton are big crime and drug areas now. It’s sad but not exactly on my top ten places in Pennsylvania.

Love how you pronounced the rivers name in Reading. I'm almost 64, spent most of my life in the area and had no idea I was pronouncing it wrong. List was made by morons.

Pennsylvania (especially Lancaster County) where treason, perjury and the deletion of video footage is legal in the court of law.

Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest and make money 💯

The way this guy said Schuylkill 😂😂😂😂 it’s “Skoo-KILL not Skoykull.

Completely inaccurate !! Delete the video , i am living in PA .

As long as Wolfe is governor, the best thing to do is leave Pa , Philly #1 is laughable at best

Noticed this only showed the downtown and well kept up areas and not the rundown, sometimes boarded up parts of downtown or the outer residential parts where crime is high and the drugs and gangs are plentiful. Lived here a lot of my life and so glad i live in a smaller town in the country away from big cities, away from most violent crime.

Whoever is responsible for this video has never lived in any of these towns, and much of the footage is not even from Pennsylvania, and some of it is from Europe.

Not Reading PA! Noooooooooo nooooo 🤣🤣🤣

As a former resident of Philadelphia for over 35 years...it shouldn't even be on the list.

There used to be good places in PA. Thanks to Gov. Wolf the entire place now sucks

I'm from Pennsylvania currently living in Philadelphia with family in the Lehigh Valley. please redo this list, these cities are not the top cities to live in Pennsylvania. Cities that are the best but not mention are Gladwyne pa, Villanova, Wayne, New Hope, Radnor, Center Valley, Hersey.

Honesdale, Wellsboro, New Hope, State College, Selinsgrove, Mt Gretna, Kempton, Mansfield, Coburn, and Coudersport, in no particular order.

Beau content..thanks for very luvly posting

I was expecting to see State College on the list.

Yikes! York should actually be in the top 10 WORST places to live! There are so many shootings and drugs it's alarming. The area generally just doesn't have much to offer. I live in a bordering county and if you live here you know lol.

I've lived in several of these towns over the years. None compares to Gettysburg. And there are dozens of towns better than most of those on your list. Wellsboro. Honesdale.Carlisle. Lewisburg. Lititz, Lots of beautiful towns but you chose some of our worst cities.

Nice video

SCRANTON!!!! 🤘☝ Where my people at!!! Don't be shy! We KZfaq famous!!

I’ve went to school in Wilkes barre and it’s similar to Scranton and trust me it’s nothing but homeless and drug addicts😐 this list is very inaccurate

I'm happy to live in Pennsylvania ♥️

Que paisages Tan Elegantes y amplios Y Bueno para caminar y respirar aire puro

I'm sorry to say to this you all, but this is a very inaccurate video. Reading, PA has one of the highest crime and poverty rate out of the entire state (and country) and you are telling me it is in the "10 Best Places To Live in PA in 2020"? Same goes for many of the other large cities you have listed. Please don't listen to ridiculous list and do your research elsewhere if you are planing on moving to PA .

m8, you clearly know nothing about Pennsylvania. Lancaster is pronounced Lancister. Reading is one of the worst places to live. please research these places before saying that they’re the “best” to live in

I agree that Scranton is a good safe place to live.I went to college there, and worked there some.

And what do we learn watching this "10 Best Places" video and Nick Johnsons "10 Worst Places" videos about Pennsylvania, realizing most cities occured in both lists? Each medal has two sides.

Kayaking on the “Skuy-kull” river! Hahahahaha! You botched that word so bad dude! 🤣🤣🤣

I saw reading on the list and I thought hey! I’m from that area, maybe he knows something that I don’t. Nope. Reading is awful.

The funny is that I live in Lancaster since 2009❤

I was on the fence, especially after Scranton. Then the Reading bombshell🤷‍♂️. May as well give Kensington honorable mention smh

“Lan-caster” get outta here with that 😂

This video of Pennsylvania is not correct I know because #1 I live in PA. If you want real details about Pennsylvania ask only people who live in PA or are born in PA for REAL Details about PENNSYLVANIA.

A great video, the content is excellent ! Greetings from Marbella Spain.

This video is a whole lie! I live in Philadelphia and where I live it cost $3,000+ for a fkn apartment! Where is that cheap in the country. Ijs. 😩

Lol I wouldn’t wish living in Allentown on my worst enemy

Honestly Chambersburg and surrounding areas is best because your within 2 hours of DC hour of Harrisburg , two hours of Baltimore, and get DC pay if you work for Government contacting companies!!

Love this state!

Very nice video👍 I knew this place as a smaller place. Greetings from Düsseldorf Germany. ❣️

First, from Mizoram, India

I live in Erie , love the beaches , hate the snow

Pennsylvania, the first state to claim 6 super bowl championships in the NFL.

Here's the thing: the awesome places to REALLY live in PA, we ain't telling ya cuz we don't want ya

This list is definitely made by someone who knows nothing about PA. Reading!?!?! Really!?!? And it's pronounced Lang-kis-ter (Lancaster) 🤦🏼‍♀️

I agree with everyone who's comments I read, 7th generation Lancasterian here. I absolutely love my State, but this guy should have titled his video the worst places to live in PA, especially for violent crime. My Husband is from York and every Saturday morning when we wake and turn the news on, we bet on which "local" municipality had the most shooting, stabbings, robberies, etc. Choices are always, York, Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Reading. Don't get me wrong there really are some good things about all these places, but you really need to spend some time acquainting yourself with just about every place he mentioned. This video could not even taken crime rates into consideration. Over the years, I have been through Watts in L.A., the Bronx, Camden and West Philly and West Baltimore and anymore we are just about as bad here now. Hell, Philly, Pittsburgh, Reading, Harrisburg and Allentown were all really bad forty years ago and they haven't improved at all, but Lancaster and York sure caught up since then. Take classes on situational awareness, take shooting classes, buy a weapon for personal protection, but also get a concealed carry permit and due you due diligence on the laws and regulations regarding self defense with deadly weapon. I also own some land in Sullivan County, the second least County in PA and you should probably pack a gun to go there or almost any northern tier county, just for the ears, the bobcats, and the copperheads. We have so many beautiful, safe and quaint small towns and cities here in PA and this state truly is one of the most varied and beautiful states in America get out drive around vacation in PA I have been doing that a lot in the last ten years or so, it is my home and always will be. Drugs have pretty much destroyed most of this country, let alone a state so many of us love and call home. I am a bit concerned that this COVID-19 virus will really be setting us back with our economy here at a time when I believe that places he mentioned in this video were beginning to see some changes for the positive. I tend to be optimistic but always aware of situations and people around me, stay safe my fellow Pennsylvanians and get out into the countryside in PA and appreciate the natural beauty of this State and the majority of the good people trying to live their best lives. To the gentleman who left nice remarks about Gettysburg, I loved day trips there so much as a kid, we sent our Daughter to college there and she loved her time in G-burg.

Born in York and lived here for the past 6 years. Seems pretty fine to me always gonna be good and bad parts lol

The person who made this has definitely never been to PA lol

I love living in media pa Delaware county is such a nice place to live

State College is one of the best places to live in PA! Nary a mention!

I currently live in Reading. ...its horrible but its nothing coming fromNYC which is why i came here cause the cost of living in NYC is too much. However i came here back in 08 and move to different parts of PA. Pottsville, Allentown. Once you leave Reading you automatically feel cleaner. I came from NY with good intentions most ppl come from NY to Reading to do hard core drugs K2 and heroin they are also mainly on the run from another city. Reading is over flooded with spanish ppl who get mad at you for not Speaking Spanish. 😄 this is truly little Mexico/PR. Gotta love it.

Beautiful place.

Should include Kensington! Lmao

York, my home town (born in 1942), I will not even drive through or into York.

Amazing

My list is better (mostly on the east side) Mount bethel Easton Narezeth Bethlehem Northampton Macungie Quakertown Slatington Coopersburg Gwynedd valley

This guy need his meds

My advice. Near the southern border away from the cities.

Beautiful😍

*just awesome*

I don't think this was researched very well. Reading? Yes, the surrounding towns are nice but you don't want to be in the city.

All beautiful place I must visit in my Life !

GOOD JOB

Proud of Latrobe where I grew up

Did you guys ask the local Bureaus of Tourism and Commerce in these towns to write the script for this video? It's obvious that no one involved in this video has ever lived in PA or even been to any of these places. Anyone out there looking for real information about PA, should look somewhere else.
