"Real" cities suck, I'll gladly give up the few extra amenities in favor of being able to get anywhere within 15-30 minutes & having 1/3-1/2 the violent crime rate.

The only bad thing about Swimtown

I'd rather get violently murdered in NYC than brag up a top golf. But to each their own.
Some Omaha peeps do live in a bubble, but nobody here thinks of Omaha as a 'big city" .. But I'll take the lesser commutes, cost of living affordability. lower crime rates, and not having to see a bunch of homeless campsites splattered all over the streets, compared to some of the big city shitholes, especially on the coasts
I'll travel if I want some of the amenities that Omaha doesn't have .. no biggie

I could go a little bigger. Maybe even a suburb of something like Dallas on the outskirts where I don't ever have to go into the city.
If i had to live or commute into a "real city". I'd violent crime myself.
I bitch about Denver traffic constantly even though it doesn't crack the top 10 for worst in the country (yet, at least that I've seen). And I don't mess with I-70 mountain traffic unless I'm heading up there for a project and that's usually in the middle of the week when it's not as bad.
Driving in LA & Atlanta traffic was probably worse than Denver but it's still a mother fucker and we have the worst mix of shitty drivers anywhere I've driven, I'd say there is a major wreck on my commute that causes me delays 5-6x per month, at least.
My idea of travel is going places where I'm going to see much much less people. Never more.
My wife has been trying to get me to go to New York since we've been married. Going on 25 years. #winning
It's basically a big network of connected suburbs, which is exactly where I want to be at this point in my life.
Where do you live?
Even down here in suburbia is getting too populated. I can’t even drive down Parker Rd anymore without tons of traffic, anytime of day
Been to LA, Sacramento several times when sister in law lived there with day trips to San Fran and other places along the coast.
I don't complain about excess vehicles making the trip take longer. Rarely happens for me. Crazy fucking drivers are everywhere.
Oh no your interstate point is super valid. Those fuckers are wild in the AM
It's crazy my wife and I were just talking the other day that we need Nebraska or Wyoming or both to legalize the weed so some of these people will move to one of those states with their lower cost of living.
We don’t want those losers. You can keep ‘em lol. That’s what you all wanted. For all the deadbeats of the world to move to your state so you can get edibles
They had a speed trap not too long ago where they were only pulling over vehicles going 95+. Don't remember the exact number they pulled over but it was a lot.
I believe it. Just went down I-80 mid-morning doing upper 70s in a 65 zone and half the cars flew by me like I was an Asian grandmother.

i don't want to spend time in an actual big city
i don't even want to spend time in Omaha to be honest
I'd rather buy some land outside of Omaha and live on my farm but everything costs 5-15 million
You'd think an affluent Pickle Smoochers man like yourself would have 50 to 100x that by now
