I'm a queer Pennsyltuckian! (from the south central part of the state)
Central PA in a nutshell: DON'T
The anti-LGBTQ bigtory has really ramped up in the past couple years and I feel less safe than I did 10 years ago. I would feel even less safe if I were trans.
There's a few towns/cities in the region that may be fine themselves, but the surrounding communities are very unfriendly and the county as a whole may be hostile (example: Lancaster city itself is way better than Lancaster county as a whole). Local queer communities are organizing in these areas, but if you can avoid it and have no roots there, it's best to not go there.
If it's doable for you, I would try to stay within the Philly suburbs/southeast PA or Pittsburgh.
For Philly suburbs you're probably fine as long as you're within around an hour of Philly (I'm not from the area tho so this is just a general perception). The problem is these areas are extremely expensive.
Pittsburgh and some of its inner suburbs are also fine and are way less expensive. You definitely need to do your research if you go outside of Pittsburgh itself since it does not take long to get into deep red territory, but Pittsburgh itself is pretty progressive.
I don't know much about the Lehigh Valley or Erie but I've heard that Erie is pretty friendly?

The dog owner is responsible. I am forced to carry bear spray & a hunting knife when walking in the park because people don’t control their animals.

Also, I have a friend who works for Bridge Home Realty. They have a few rentals on their site now, I've never used a realtor to find a rental so I can't help much there!

This one was wildly cut and dry.

Look into the south hills areas (Bethel Park, Baldwin, Whitehall, Castle Shannon, South park). I live in the city but my boyfriend is from Whitehall and we're constantly down there. 10-20 minute drive into the city depending on the area, access to most things you'll need, pretty good areas, average rent prices especially on homes. Look into the north hills as well.
We unfortunately have to move to Nevada for my job buuuut I was just looking at rentals the other day on zillow and Facebook, I don't remember seeing anything over 1800.

My wife and I moved from Southern Arizona to Philly a year ago. Setting aside the seasons and climate differences, it will depend a huge amount on where exactly you're coming from and going to. Large swathes of the State are less diverse than you may be used to. Work is also a question. What sort of jobs are you looking for?
Edit: Just saw IT work. That's always a relatively easy job to find work in, but as always, easier near larger communities.

Avoid Venango and anywhere you see confederate flags.

Give us some references as to what's "affordable" and what's "high"

Nor should she. She was defending her small dog from an almost certain death. If anything, be mad at the owner of the pit bull who wasn’t responsible enough to control her dog. Shame it came to this.

I was using those. But I'm looking for apartment finder a realtor who can help us find a place. We have those in AZ.

Most people try apartments.com or zillow or a realtor. Good luck to you.

Just because a Pit bull attacks another dog in the street, don't assume it's aggressive. It was probably just trying to nanny the other dog.

While tragic, it is a double tragedy- this was a 14 year old mentally ill girl. She needs serious help.

Hopefully you do. I know during the pandemic it helped. Im not sure but I think they are transitioning to a new system.

> "Incoherently tragic," events led a TikToking teen to "Michael Myer's" (as the killer put it) her sister who had Cerebral Palsy, authorities say.
What a subheading
