I like many things about my move from NYC to Tannersville, PA. The country view and the open roads are GREAT. The cost of living here is lower than the city and there is more space. The one thing I do not like is the provision of snow-plowing by the Township and State - they do not plow my roads, only the major roads. Apparently, PA expects citizens to organize themselves into Associations and arrange for their own snow-plowing. This leads to political fallout between everyone. PA should just plow all the roads. The distinction between a State road, a Township road and a private road is arbitrary. Except for this one glitch, the move to the country was a fantastic idea and I am glad I made this choice. The main reason I could make this choice is because the price for a house is considerably less than anywhere near NYC: I bought a brand new house for 230k where there were no houses for under 400k anywhere in or around the city, and all of those were old and needed repairs. The solution to the snowplowing problem is to get a big car.
