Very, very, very high taxes on everything; no public transportation to anywhere; low wages, people move after college because Nebraska loooow wages.

For me it's just my passion. Most of Omaha's video game development sector is independent developers, hobbyists or industry professionals outsourcing to other states. There's not really jobs here for that line of work here despite having a pretty bustling community of talent. Studios that start in nebraska are doomed to fail despite having a large number of people passionate and talented enough here to make games. I'm just going where the work is. Unless some studio get's a big break here that kickstarts a market, it's not really worth working beyond the transfer degree.

I like Nebraska, i grew up here, but the taxes are ridiculous.

This is do incredibly biased. If the middle class thinks they will be able to afford a house easier, think again! Your views are so one sided!

Blue dots don’t bother me, 2nd time we have lived here, more like all the new red that has moved here since here last in 2008

Wanna make people move to and stay in Omaha (and therefore Nebraska) do this: drop that stupid wheel tax (I've NEVER had a flat tire in my life. Until I moved to Omaha NE) UPDATE. THE. ROADS. I come.from Virginia, a state highly regarded for its ability to maintain and upkeep the roads. You do that, you'll be golden. Get rid of HOAs. Hoas are so trash and the idea of them is just to charge families that already have a hard time covering the costs of living harder. Outlaw them. Buy into the fact that Omaha is a family oriented place. This city is one of the BEST places to raise children. Make it better and you will get people to move here.

Old market is full of homeless people. After redoing the park they increased police downtown a lot. Plenty of suicides from the new walking bridge into a river that is pretty much 100% of death. Hope your car doesnt break down near downtown, Those catalytic converters will be gone. Maybe omaha was decent back in 2017 and below due to the cost of living but now prices have doubled and honestly can't say its worth it. Used to have a home in west omaha, One of the nicest places in omaha for 1100 a month for rent. That same place is now well over 2k. The house was only worth maybe 140k-150k cookie cutter build and is now worth a 350k to 450k for that area. Rent of my current home used to be 800 and now is worth $1,600 in just 2 years.

Clickbate !!!!

nice place ...BUT... One if the highest property taxed counties in the United States. Was once a nice little town, but now apartments and car washes EVERYWHERE! The city planner genuises installed man hole covers in the right side lane ...so you'll be replacing your right front wheel bearings a few times. potholes everywhere thats not under construction. Car registration & taxes are INSANE! Omaha has historically had a transient population so don't expect that "friendly Midwestern hospitality". People are kinda rude generally speaking. They love the huskers...but they s*ck most of the time. Public schools are nice...but getting liberalized. Stay outta Nebraska medical center. you most likely won't make it out. the staff went woke. other than that...rock on.

Omaha is a great community and we are growing. We have great schools here. Millard is one of the top Districts in the region.

As noted in the video: you "need" a vehicle. However, the driving experience here is horrible. There are multi-month long construction projects that seemingly never progress. There are potholes all over the place, also mentioned. However, the traffic lights are also timed so that it's not uncommon or rare to hit over 90% of the lights on any drive across the metro. This frustrates drivers to the point of driving unsafely, excessively speeding to "beat" the light or running them all together.

Good content David. Really appreciated the explanation on the new buyers fee structure. 🫡

Stop speaking soo much fact..its wild😅😂

Wayne State College graduate here! I live in Elkhorn and love it here in Nebraska!

still alive

65% of the country is thrilled..... 15% want to leave.... It's NOT a 50/50 at all.

Thank you for your honesty opinion ! I’ll do my research ❤

Great location for ddruuuugz

Look at you go Dave!

Omaha sucks 😂😂

It's not that simple. We already produce record amounts of oil If oil prices go down - many american oil companies will not make a profit and shut down production. Other countries can retaliate by producing more cheaper oil and still make a profit, further reducing american production.

Some people dont realize the pipe goes down after the election because now they have you in the water.

I'd be cautious about thinking there will be more drilling. In the last week the major oil producers have stated they are very happy with the current price of oil, and drilling expansion will just lower the price on the commodities markets. Oil was cheap during Trumps 2017/2019 admin because the Saudis began a price war to eliminate U.S. shale oil which was flooding the markets, cutting into Saudi profits. To remedy that, the U.S. companies struck a bargain with the Saudis, and along with Trumps request in April 2020 and October 2020, to cut production, colluded to do so. To drill more will just cut into the profits of the producers.

No Streetcar!! Read, "Why we're Stuck in Traffic, and what to do about it," by Randall O'Toole.

Omaha sucks to live in

Don't like the weather in Nebraska, come back in 5 minutes and you'll definitely like it then

Nebraska, it's not for everyone

Do you need audio troubleshooting?

Grew up in Omaha and living in DFW, Texas now. Gosh I miss Omaha. Texas doesn't have an income tax, but its got comparable property taxes, worse summers, and the endless concrete sprawl and traffic is horrible. Hopefully, I'll be back home in a few years.

I subscribed about two weeks ago. But I disagree 100% on this video. I no longer trust your insight. I have to unsubscrubribe.

Great video. I agree 100%

Strangely, our population continues to grow, economy thrives.

Living in Omaha for about 21 years now with my first 20 being in Indianapolis. I prefer Omaha over Indy big time, but the lack of professional sports teams kind of sucks and the taxes are no joke. Property taxes on a $400,000 house in Omaha would be the same as a $2.5 million dollar house in Indianapolis. Vehicle taxes are also insane. In Indiana the taxes are rolled into the price of the vehicle so to plate it is maybe $300, but in Omaha you could be looking at $5000 to $10,000 for a modern vehicle and registration each year is a portion of the vehicles value so renewing your registration the next year could be $1,000+ and it really doesn't drastically drop until the vehicle is over 10 years old.

I love and hate this state. As an engineer, for a state with brain drain issues, it’s quite surprising the lack of good offers and competitive salaries relative to our neighbors. Would also like to point out the corruption of our governor banning lab grown meat while also owning the biggest hog farm in the state. That same hog farm in which a kid died working on and whose cause of death was undetermined and they never got in trouble for.

Nebraska doesn't sound any different from Indiana... what's the point of this video?

the main reason anyone here leaves is because they dont like the cold

I always thought Iowa sucks but then I remember I could be living in Nebraska.

I think one of the reasons graduates don’t stay is cause a lot of them are from in state and their looking to “leave the nest” if you will. Or if their not from in state they came for a specific program and have the means to move anywhere in the country for a job. I went to school at Northest in Norfolk and the Utility Line program was one of the few in the country so they had students from all over the country enrolled. Not all these students stayed in NE, they moved where ever the jobs were. My wife did PT school at Creighton and we moved to Sioux Falls cause it’s relation to where our parents live and because they had the perfect opportunity my wife was looking for.

Great info David!! This totally summarizes the market currently

All you out of towners. High taxes and air that can kill you. Just remember those two things please

its so weird when i keep hearing my town being brought up

The tax thing is legit. 4500 k sales tax on a new car. Property js nasty too. This state has one of the worst tax burdens in the country. That info is readily available btw.

Google, Facebook, Amazon, PayPal, they're all out here. If you're a techy and you need work, this is the place. You can make good money. I work at one of the largest data centers in the world. Logistics, electricians, and material handlers. Security guards, too. There are a lot of jobs here.

Im here visiting in omaha and its the reminds me of minnesota and Colorado but more industrial kind of look😮

VERY interesting. A new apartment building has opened at about 76th and West Dodge Road, so more apartments might help with lower home prices, at least indirectly. If you don't mind living literally 15 feet from the fire station...but I'm sure many luxury apartments are being built in the Omaha area and this gives people more options to be happy with where they live without the burden and cost of a house

Keep telling the truth about Nebr, weather, home sales, taxes, crime, limited transportation, opportunities, main entertainment is football but now serving alcohol, also approved medical drug sales! don’t mention the beautiful sunrises, and sunsets, or the wildlife visiting the small towns! We have many small towns with built in safety from friendly neighbors! Help with vehicle problems on the road! We have very little population growth and not one bus loaded with refugees has stopped and requested financial and basic assistance with food and housing! Many Nebraskans are totally to the state with multiple generations staying in place at home because they like it

My wife and are planning on moving to Omaha from Houston, Tx and your videos have helped a ton for research. Thanks
