I'm probably assuming too much but I was wondering what Damascus and Beach Lake, PA are like?
I mean how different can Damascus, PA be since it 's across from Callicoon which is fairly liberal.

I want to be in Damascus because taxes in Sullivan County, NY are very, very high whereas on the PA side they are practically 1/2 or less!

We want something rural with great views but no flood zones. Nothing on the Delaware river where the waters could rise.
