York County, just 35 miles from Baltimore, is a world away politically

Tanya Carter had lived in the Baltimore area her whole life, but a few years ago she started to feel stuck. She was living in the rowhome in Oliver where she grew up, and her oldest daughter, Tobi, had just died. Carter was looking for a fresh start. While searching for housing on Google, she stumbled across New Freedom, Pennsylvania, a small community in southern York County. She made the roughly 45-minute drive and within minutes fell in love.
