Close to $160 Million dollars was spent on Fetterman’s campaign.

Money like that isn’t spent on a guy who’s only running for himself.

And if Fetterman is such a free thinker, then why did he shamefully lie in front of a national audience during his only Senate Debate with Oz about his views on fracking, claiming he’s always been pro fracking when there’s mountains of video and articles refuting that? Shouldn’t liberals who are anti fracking feel betrayed?

In Freeport, ME, the town made McDonald's build their restaurant so that the historical building at that location was incorporated into the designs. Rutters should be able to do the same. I hear there is a similar issue with a 100's year old building in Lebanon County. Restaurant chain wants to tear it down and put up a parking lot.

In that case, no. They give you your license at the end of the PA Motorcycle Safety Course, or you can do it through the DMV and do that test. The safety course is free here (or at least was when I did mine), so I’d just do that. Brush up on your skills (never hurts) and it’s frankly easier than the DMV skills test lol.

There are some manufactured home communities in Feasterville-Trevose/Langhorne area as well as the Hatfield/Chalfont area (Bucks County and Montgomery County). Maybe the Harleysville area too? It looks like these homes tend to be around $100k-$170k, which should put them in your price range.

Edit: Also check out Quakertown

The housing market seems to be going down a little which should be helpful. Best of luck with everything!

Because it's expensive.

There's fundraising going on now but it's probably too little too late.

Although I will say. Rutters is missing a huge public relations opportunity here. They should offer the balance of the money to move it now since that's probably cheaper than demo at this point, and then donate to the park it ends up in.

A "Rutter's helped save the Hoke house" would be great PR

Sorry, I didn't mean to be nosey.

That might work for something small in Quakertown in Upper Bucks County or the Pennsburg or Pottstown areas in northern Montgomery County.

Prices in even those traditionally less expensive areas have been going up like everywhere else though.

It's better further north just past the mountain in Schuylkill (Pottsville or Tamaqua ) and Carbon (Lehighton area) counties but that's really pushing your 1.5 hour to Philly window.
