Would you rather live in Nebraska or New Jersey?

[Kingpoleon]

Not the gates of hell.

[Unapologetic Chinaperson]

Huh, a lot more people answered New Jersey than I expected. I guess I won't have to change my handle to "NJ Is Better Than NE" after all.

Also, since we're posting judgemental maps now, here's the infamous one for New Jersey:

[Technocracy Timmy]

I visited Nebraska for one week for a wrestling camp in high school.

New Jersey can't possibly be worse (and I was staying in the city of Lincoln in the university dorms). Voted NJ.

[Dr. MB]

Jersey, but I'd prefer NYC.

[Badger]

Jersey, but I'd prefer NYC.

[Fuzzy Says: "Abolish NPR!"]

NE.  I would prefer my 12 year old son grow up there, as opposed to NJ.

The cost of living in NJ is prohibitive at this point in my life.

[dead0man]

You're basically a monster if you have kids or plan on having kids and pick NJ, right?

[Torie]

Jersey by and large is an unfortunate place, but one could live near a subway stop in Hoboken or whatever, right across the river from Manhattan. But to be fair to NB, I have not been to Omaha. I just assume it would not have much to offer me, and it is a long way to get to anything that would appeal to me much. At least in Jersey, one is centrally located to a lot of great stuff.

[OneJ]

New Jersey (Newark or Jersey City) so I can be close to New York and make things happen in both states.

I found one of them "judgmental maps" of Omaha on Google.



Yea or nay, dead0?

Lol.

[Torie]

I don't see "gays" anywhere on the Omaha map. I guess they don't exist in Omaha. Sad!

There’s a “high school for gays” right below the big “STRIP MALLS”

Ah a jail bait high school. That does it. Omaha sucks.

we don't lock 'em up in a gayhetto, they are spread pretty evenly throughout.  Higher numbers downtown where the hipsters live over antique stores in converted 100 year old warehouse, the UNO campus and the Benson area (gentrified area west of downtown...just south of the big BLACK PEOPLE part of the map).

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

New Jersey easily.

Truth be told that is true in most places these days (other than in heavily gay small towns, like well the one I live in, where about half the town has gays wandering around with their small dogs), since gays have gone mainstream and ceased to be demonized as evil freaks of nature. Heck the Castro district in SF is not particularly gay anymore. I was just  jiving.

[Jersey Jimmy]

Look at my username. I want you to guess.

[dead0man]

Honestly, it's not for everyone.

[gottsu]

Nebraska. I like rural regions.

How can you be infatuated with Hudson and have such a excessively negative outlook on New Jersey? I get why you would prefer Hudson - and I'd agree that "New York State" is probably a better option for many reasons, but I think there are more than a small number of towns you would consider more than palatable if Hudson disappeared along with New Jersey's prohibitive property taxes which would otherwise displace retirees - hardly just Hoboken "because Manhattan". It's not Connecticut!

I looked at your profile, and it says not New Jersey. Maybe I should guess something else?

I'm amused that I moved out of Omaha from the area right between "completely unremarkable" and "roads untouched since the Johnson administration". I moved out one month before the Johnson administration began. Was it something I did there?

[Esteemed Jimmy]

New Jersey!

it's weird.  Some of the nicest neighborhoods have the worst streets.  The streets between Westside HS and W. Center are some of the crappiest streets in all of Omaha and it's full of $250k-$500k houses.  You'd think those people paying all those tax dollars would bitch more.

[Figueira]

Nothing really against Nebraska, but New Jersey actually sounds pretty cool.

[RI]

There are some really pretty areas of western and northern Nebraska, but they're soooo far from anything. The Sandhills remind me a lot of the Palouse, the Nebraska National Forest near Chadron is quite scenic, areas near the Niobrara River, etc.
