Looking for members from Lincoln or surrounding area

Due to lack of housing (literally non available) I am thinking of moving to Lincoln, NE. I have a great job, but am looking at homelessness due to NO housing available (been looking for 10 months!)

So, I am looking for members who know the Lincoln area well. The economy and housing looks good from a distance, with available jobs and apartment rental reasonable. Is that true? Is it a clean city? Low crime?

I heard that health insurance is lower cost than Colorado.... what about car insurance?

I would just like to know about the city and the economy from anyone who can help. Thanks!

Don't bother.

That member is either a bot or straight up hack.

They've been previously banned or have multiple accounts and almost 99.9% of the time responds with the same phrase,

"Its possible...Its possible."

A waste of their time and energy methinks.

Lived in L-town from '96-'03. Have some family and a lot of friends there. The town has grown tremendously since then. It's reasonable. Not as scenic as CO, but you can bike most anywhere. Crime isnt as bad as many other cities its size. You wont get paid a lot, but cost of living is low.
There are much worse cities to move to.

From the area.
Depending on your career, it can either be a good move or a bad move.

The living is somewhat reasonable, but the lower level jobs don't pay too well if you go that route.

It's a college city with a small town feel to it.

Thanks for your replies. This helps me out quite a bit. I'm headed over there in a few weeks I think just to check it out...

I work in Lincoln but chose to live outside of city limits. Like with any city, taxes can be on the higher side. With a 2% unemployment rate, there are jobs. Not sure what you are looking for as to a career? Crime is low and the city is pretty clean.

What kind of work and skills do you have experience with?

Might be able to help with some things.. housing, food, and employment. We are in CO though.

Most likely agricultural and/or office work.

Then you will have no problem finding something. Omaha is 45 minutes east and also would be an excellent place to find employment. If you are interested in a smaller clean town, I would recommend Kearney. It is also a University town, but it is an excellent place to live. The hospital and University are the major employers, but they have a little bit of everything...except the traffic.
