I'm calling b.s. on the claim that produce is cheaper in the farmer's markets. It absolutely is not cheaper--in fact, it's frequently more expensive.

So glad I moved here from the DC area ten years ago. I live in a home that would cost millions there that cost 300,000 with 2 acres. I’m close enough to dc, ny, the Atlantic beaches to go for the day or a show and still drive home no hotel needed. Low IQ shock hasn’t worn off yet tho. I didn’t realize how privileged I was to have many more intelligent people around. The ethnic food is limited. Miss those things a lot.

Reading is like a country version of Newark nj.

I’ve lived here 77 years, more minorities, more trash, more crime and more disrespect. Perhaps it’s a coincidence

Lancaster is beautiful. Farms, fields, and quaint towns. But, it's very quiet and boring. I imagine it would be a good place to grow old in . After living in Lancaster for a few years it would be a lot easier to die.

Family Law judges are the worst, if you are a man with children, stay away. Real Estate companies put out a blurb about it being one of the ten best places to live. That was a scam. There is a lot of farm ground there, and they wanted to raise the land values, destroy the farm land, build a bunch of crap urban sprawl, which they have now done. Traffic is now horrendous, many of the local attractions have now folded, and giving way to appartments, senior living, and strip malls. It is not at all what it used to be.

2:20 Why is everything moving backwards?

F off we're full!!!

LETS GOOO I CAN FINALLY PLANE SPOT A COMMERCIAL AIRLINER 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Sorry. Live in Lebanon county. In Lancaster often. It has become too built up to maintain its once idealic attraction. Lebanon, Adams, and Cumberland counties are suffering the same fate. Never mind the regular violence reported out of Lancaster City proper on a near daily basis

Lancaster and its suburbs are absolutely awesome. Lancaster is just amazing.

What about medical care? What medical institutions are in the area and are they any good?

Be careful comparing PA summers to Florida's. I lived in Twp for 20 years, then Warwick for another 20 before moving to Melbourne, FL. The highest dewpoint I ever experienced in PA was probably 78. As I write this, the DP here is 79. I'd never experienced a DP in PA of 80, much less the 85 it gets to here occasionally. I understand the temptation to compare Lancaster humidity to Florida's, because your summertime DPs can rival the typical summer DPs here. However, as we know, 'normal' or 'average' weather are just like speed limits: suggestions. Just as it's not 88°/68° every single day in July there, there are many times here the DP is way above normal. This happens when one is surrounded on three sides by ocean waters in the 90s and 100s (!) toward late summer. In PA, we consider a DP of 65 to be sticky, 70 to be muggy, and 75 to be downright oppressive. Here, 70 is totally comfortable even without a breeze, and 75 isn't that bad with the typical breezes that comes with the sea breeze and storm outflow boundaries. But make no mistake; you haven't seen humid until you've been outside with an 85° dewpoint, when condensation appears on the exterior of the windows on your 78° AC'ed home (enough that it drips and runs), where stepping INTO a sauna to cool off sounds like a superb idea. BTW, the all-time record high DP in Melbourne, FL is 90°.

Lancaster property is VERY pricey! Pick another county!

Hi Matt, I think it might be helpful to do a video comparison of cost of living between Lancaster, York and Chester Counties.

The weather doesn't change that quickly in Lancaster. I'm not sure where that idea comes from. I lived in Colorado. The weather here is very stable in comparison. The weather in summer, though, is pretty awful.

LANCASTER 40 YEARS AGO WAS A PARADISE NOW WITH EVERYBODY FROM BIG CITIES MOVING HERE ARE JUST CROWDING EVERYTHING AND SOON LANCASTER WILL BE LIKE PHILADELPHIA. THEY RAISE ALL THE HOUSE OWNERSTAXES AND IF YOU PLANNING TO DO RENTAL 🤦‍♂️ FORGET IT NOW YOU NEED 4 GRAND DOWN AND PROOF THAT YOU ALSO MAKE THAT A MONTH. BEFORE YOU COULD RENT ANYWARE WITH JUST ONE DEPOSIT OF 800 OR 1,000 DOWN. ALL THIS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO MILK THE RICH THAT ARE MOVING IN AND TAKEN OVER .

You forgot to mention the millions of flys that come with the manure that will drive anybody nuts🤦‍♂️

Worce move I ever made,

How is Airbnb in Lancaster , pa ?

So happy to see your success. Lancaster has changed so much over the years, but it definitely has something for everyone here. Thanks for providing a look into our county.

Please do not call it the South of the North. I have never heard that, as a native. Polite, respectful and good conversation is it, and that is not southern.

Lancaster was one of 7 counties that chose the Ultra MAGA Senate candidate Kathy Barnette over Oz and McCormick in the 2022 Republican primary. Needless to say Lancaster is one of the most conservative counties in PA so expect to live among many Trump flag adorned homes.

The people aren't friendly. If you are not born there for a few generations you will never be accepted fully. Drive through Mt. Joy and it stinks like they spread human fecal matter year round. It isn't just a few days as he says. Lancaster city has become more liberal and more welcoming in recent years. Don't believe this liar he is obviously only out for homself.

Forgot the Rolex funded, Lititz Watch Technicum. One of the only Watchmaking schools in the country

Diversity/ white liberals is exactly what we’re looking to get away from in retirement. Everything else in your video I completely agree with that Florida would be a first choice in Pennsylvania very strong second choice.

Elderly care is lacking, doctors lacking.....

Stay away, taking up all the good land, traffic is CRAZY. Move to wyoming, dakotas, idao, iowa.....

Nice video....

Love in Hershey, work in Lititz. Cheaper living, better schools and the reverse commute as everyone else.

Its beautiful, lush green, clean!💙 🫧 Its TRUMP country.

I heard that. True friends tell you the TRUTH. Spent 2 weeks in Pa. Visited Lanc. Co. U Sir are CORREÇT😊

The Amish have alot of money in their community. They make a great products and have a lot of land. They only spend their money with in their community as well.

Great video, Thank you. Do you know that before there was a chocolate factory Milton Hershey owned a candy company 3 blocks from Willam Penn square?

Great video - in the middle of watching …. Does Lancaster county have tornadoes - hope not ! Its so pretty

Great video! Thanks

Lititz is best!

I grew up in Lancaster County (1943-1965) and then moved back (2001-2009) where I served as a County Social Worker. Lancaster City has all sorts of social problems and is not highly regarded as a place to live (outlying communities like Manheim Township, etc. have a better reputation). I learned more about the city and county as a social worker than I did growing up. Three suggestions for would-be city residents: (1) accept the Latino culture and conservative religious influences; (2) enjoy things like Central Market, rides in the country and don't get turned off by the Amish tourist traps, but (3) most of all, you'll never find better health care than you will at Lancaster General Hospital's facilities (assuming you have good health insurance).

The rich and the wealthy

Matt, you mean "Deep in the throes," not "throws." You're still a charismatic screen personality. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

My property values have sky rocketed lol

Less advertising at the. beginning. 4 minutes is too long an I tro. After all we're not getting any longer

Lame caster can not hide the truth. The weather is terrible. Air pollution and water pollution is terrible. Crime is rampant now no fault of officers. The leadership is completely corrupted by the same attorneys on constant rotation that sold out the area’s quality of life.

Lancaster is great. Want to move back.

Stay away from Bentley Ridge

I live in Lampeter i see no difference it's like city and they are building around us . The outlet has changed they are building apartment's . Im ready to move to Florida

It really hasn't since moved here two years ago not the same. I'm ready to move!

It just became a sanctuary city .......lokking forward to the trains and buses arriving with illegals.

Lancaster is a woke city run by an irrational city gov 28% poverty, homelessness, the city is trying to remake neighborhoods with fancy names, but the Streets are dirty, blocked by crazy pylons, no real industry but plenty of bars, schools are bad, and taxes.high.
