I understand that perhaps the prices in Harrisburg have gone up, but they're still not "expensive" by any means. To say that would be to insulate yourself to the limitations of central PA. In contrast to a place like NYC, where housing prices have gone through the roof ($1000/mo for a studio on the G train???), Harrisburg is incredibly cheap (as is Philly, for the comparison).

Housing prices aside, the area is still really conservative. Sure, I see some changes when I go home, though not in additudes. It would be great if people became a bit more open-minded, but I'm really not holding my breath.
