I lived in Omaha for a year and would definitely consider moving back for a great job, however, there's one big problem and that is: even though you're in a beautiful rural part of the country with lots going for it, you're still in the big city, i.e., the one place in that state that has the fewest of the advantages of being in a small state. You don't have the low cost of living, you don't have the strong sense of community, don't know your neighbors, can't leave the car unlocked, and it's still difficult and expensive to get away from it all. So you may have people come to work for you thinking they'll get to enjoy life in the slow lane, and then find out that they've given up all they loved about the big city but haven't experienced the promises of the country.
- Tcepsa 12y agoI'm mostly in agreement with this if you choose to live in said city, but I would argue that traffic will be better even in one of the "big" cities of the Midwest (I currently live the greater D.C./Baltimore metro area and am amazed at what people in the Twin Cities metro area consider to be bad traffic). As a result, it would be much less time-consuming to commute into the city from the countryside in the Midwest than it would be to make a commute of similar distance in SV/NY/DC/etc.
