Omaha doesn’t belong in Nebraska
Star Rating - 11/28/2020
First off, I’ve lived in Omaha my whole life. If there’s one thing I could say, it’s that Omaha doesn’t belong in Nebraska. If your looking for an urban place that feels like an actual city, Omaha is your place. However it’s costly to live here. We’re super segregated still, and most of the suburbs were created as a means to solidify segregation. My tip is to learn about the history of Omaha before you move here Bc it’s like a Chicago 2.0. People are nice to a certain point. The weather sucks. We’re progressive in terms of social standards. And our mayor, Jean Stothert, sucks at her job.

@David I can only assume the original post was referring to gentrification, not segregation. Would you describe Omaha and it's surrounding suburbs as gentrified? My company has been trying to get me to come around to the idea of moving to Nebraska. I live in the supposedly progressive San Francisco Bay Area. The magnitude of gentrification that has occurred here is shameful. It sounds something like this, "the Bay Area is so anti-racist. We love all people. Just as long as they stay on their side of the bridge."
