A friend of a friend, who is currently living in a foreign country which has been trending in very
bad directions has the possibility to transfer their job to the USA, which gives them the possibility
if immigrating. Several possible locations are in places I consider very undesirable and I will not
bother slandering them here. I have my opinions of those area and they are not negotiable for
this purpose, I will not recommend them for a foreigner moving to the USA.
However, if anyone has personal knowledge of housing, general cost of living, personal safety, taxes
and such issues in the following cities, I would like to know more. I am aware that PA has generally
favorable CCW laws, and gun laws, but more education there wouldn't hurt, either. Maybe I am wrong
about that.
The cities are Doylestown, Springfield, Allentown and Exton, all in PA. I believe that I have read that
Allentown has been in a perpetually economically depressed since the steel mills closed, but that is very
old and may not be true. Plus I have read that US Steel is planning on investing $1.2 billion in US steel
mills soon. No idea if that might be something helping Allentown or even one of these other cities
economically or not.
Thank you for any info.
