Obviously there are a lot of reasons not to like PA, but your list is not very convincing- if anything, it convinces me that you have never been to PA or have only seen this state a few times. I have lived in PA my whole life (practically) and I have never seen a bed bug. Jeffery Dahmer was not at all associated with PA. This place is called the 'City of brother love and Sisterly Affection' now, and females were never ignored! PA has been home to numerous female reformers. We do not have a lot of ugly or fat people (every state has its fair share). Scrapple is actually good to tons of people. And why live in Philly when you can live in New York? Oh, I don't know- let's see, there's the better hospitals, actual houses that you can probably afford, a great culture, and South Philly. Oh, yeah, and are we forgetting the birthplace of the US? The signing the most important documents in our history? I'm not saying PA is perfect- we have out flaws, but this 'article' has many more.
PS- The 'Main Line' has more wealth than Beverly Hills, just FIY.

Some of your things are spot on:
cheap nasty beer
fat (and fatter) people
cheesteak with cheesewhiz (actually most of them don't!)

But you missed alot:
state laws that forget we're not the 1700s
lazy state lawmakers who modernize NOTHING and can't even figure out how to keep roads plowed or paved (voted worst roads constantly)
muggy disgustingly humid (feels like a swamp) during summer and COLD during winter
catering a whole state to country folks who mostly have only basic hs level learning and no grasp of higher education and think trade schools make one as educated as a good university
a state higher education system that does not focus on learning, only memorizing for tests
people who vote Republican because they don't know any better
everyone besides Pittsburgh and Philly thinks $10 an hr is a good money
rural wasteland full of folks who actually drink beer / do pills while driving
a good portion of your hs class/friends will be dead before any of them are old enough to graduate college
folks who complain about how bad it is but willing to do nothing to change anything
