would you want to choose to live in? Iowa or Nebraska....you only have to choose one or don't post in here. ;) also, why?
 
Of the two, I would take Iowa. I have been to both places, and Nebraska is pitiful in my opinion.

Yea, Nebraska only has one good sized metro area while Iowa has about 4 good sized metro areas. When I drove thru Nebraska...its mostly middle of nowhere until you reach Lincoln, NE. Not too much to see in Nebraska either except for Omaha and northwest part of Neb have interesting landforms.

Iowa. It has more beauty and more rivers.

Yep, lots of rivers! They mostly usually run at the southeast direction to Mississippi river. :)
 
Never been to either places so I wouldnt know.
 
I have visited both states, Iowa and Nebraska many years ago. I had often visited Iowa many times and it is okay. Nebraska was a long state to travel on the highway getting to Colorado before coming to New Mexico. Nebraska is really a beautiful country and I like the food the best. Nebraska is the best to place to visit, but not to live in. I still prefer to live in New Mexico, even if I am living in Canada. :lol:

How is the food better in Nebraska? They're both in the Great Plains, what's the difference?

I spent about $7000-8000 in two months going out eating all over the place the first few months I was in Omaha...
Iowa can't compare.

If you're in Omaha, try Nicolas.. Johnny's Italian Cafe... Lo Sole Mio... and Dixie Quicks :)

You're crazy. Sorry to say that. I wouldn't spend that much on eating out. That's like $3500 a month worth of food, well can I borrow your $200? :D

Thats okay by me. Different strokes for different folks.

BTW, did it ever hit you that I kinda said there was nothing to do in that area of the country other than eat?

What made you want to go eat and eat out in Omaha for 2 months? Why did you live there for a couple of months? Did you know that Omaha has one of the highest property taxes and most people who own houses are not able to afford it and you are better off renting a house than owning a house if you live in Omaha area.

I bought a couple houses there....

It's dirt cheap there too.

I lived there for about 2 years. After the 2 months I knew my hang outs and was able to dine on the cheap.

My friend's boyfriend used to live in Omaha and told me how expensive the property taxes and it's better off renting a house if you wanted to live in Omaha. He was shocked how cheap the property taxes were in Seattle.

ok ok let me explain this to you....

a median of $120,000 in Omaha as opposed to like a median of $450,000 in seattle..

Tell me how much in taxes if omaha had 2% and seattle has 1%.

With higher property values, you need less property taxes to maintain your local government.
