Where do people find jobs there to be able to build like that?
Liberty is still mostly farmland. The center of the county had a real boom
in the past 10 years. One McMansion across the street was built by a manager
that was brought in to run a local company, but most are retired people. A
LOT of well-to-do people from Philadelphia come here to to vacation every
year, then retire here. A few live here year round, but many take long
vacations south in the winter (own condos in Florida). This is definately an
area of "haves" and "have nots".
