Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Lancaster was very very nice. Not far from any nature and you can go to a lot of extremely beautiful locations in less then 30 minutes.
It’s a bustling art and college town so there’s a good movement of new people. There are many leftist organizations, big box stores are banned within city limits so there’s countless small and locally owned restaurants, stores, movie venues, cafes, bakeries, hobby shop for every hobby, etc. Plenty of parks and thirds spaces, plus there are many community events constantly, so it’s overall very easy to meet people and go places. Everything is within a walking/biking distance. I can tell you more about it if you’d like.
Harrisburg and the surrounding Capital area are dead. Avoid this area at all costs. It’s a wasteland. There is nothing there, and if you and felt bored and isolated in Pittsburg, you will be downright depressed and suicidal in the capital area. Plus the area is hardcore conservative and borderline fascist. A weird mix of ultra rich liberals (15% of the pop) and extremely disadvantaged individuals (everyone else).
Scranton is the same. Eire is much more isolated and a small town/city, and I wouldn’t recommend it. State College is…. Eh… would not recommend, but that could be a more personal taste. I swear state college is a cult town for Penn State. The rest of PA is an endless uninhabited forest.
Philly is great/ok in some parts, but the city is suffering and there are a staggering number of homeless and drug users. Honestly it’s kinda only good if you’re rich.
