Northeastern Pennsylvania city in the Lackawanna River Valley — historically the "Anthracite Capital of the World" (the local coal industry collapsed mid-20th century, the city has worked through population decline since). Downtown Scranton and the Steamtown National Historic Site are the walkable cores. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Pennsylvania has state income tax (3.07% flat). The structural draws are genuinely-cheap pricing, "The Office" (US version, 2005-2013) filming-location cultural value, and dense industrial-heritage rail museums. Nomad relevance is low.
