Utilities are way lower here than in the Philadelphia; and Pennsylvania taxes.....was paying State Income Tax, Philadelphia Wage Tax (all who live or work in Phila. County must pay the tax), and local Earned Income Tax to the local township. Sales tax is lower (6%) and does not include clothing, shoes, and other things that are taxed here in Florida. Groceries and gas are no less expensive here. And homes are way less expensive here. There is almost nothing at all available for under $ 150,000 anywhere.
