Heck. My sister has a second home in West Virginia. Their main home is south of Pittsburgh.
Welp, there you have it. A single person from Western NY/PA has a second home in west virginia, so that somehow magically proves your point that "so many people" from that area love it and have second homes there. My dad has a cabin on the river in Black River Wild Forest in the Adirondacks. I guess that's proof that "so many people" who live in Florida love the Black River Wild Forest and have second homes there. Moron.
. And the mountains are a lot higher down there. The highest point in all of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Western New York is only 3,213 feet above sea level.
Uhh, moron . . . ever heard of the Catskills or Adirondacks? Not only are they in NY, but the highest Adirondack peak is in NY, not west virginia. And, just like everything else in NY compared to west virginia, the mountains are prettier.
People in Western NY can get to those mountains just as easily as going to west virginia. So if "most feet above sea level" is the desire, they'd go there for higher.
Buffalo and Pittsburgh are not “peaceful and quiet moron”.
That wasn't the comment. The point that other than Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Jamestown, move of that region is quiet and peaceful. How was that so hard for you to comprehend? In other words, other than just a few locations in that entire region, it is peaceful and quiet, so they have no reason to escape and have a second home in a similar environment (just without all the incest, poverty, etc.).
People who live in quiet, rural areas aren't getting a second home in quiet, rural areas. They are getting beach places or other things that they don't already live in most of the time.
Oh, and you need a comma before "moron," and the end quotation should be outside of the period. Explain how morons like you feel comfortable trying to insult the intelligence of others while not knowing basic grammar rules.
