People will always talk about Chicago. You hear enough flack about Detroit and Cleveland. You hear a lot of "debate" about Minneapolis.
So, of the less discussed and slightly smaller metro areas, Kansas City, Saint Louis, Omaha, Indianapolis, which one is the best mix of overall QOL aspects and a brighter future. Please take the poll and explain your answer.
I've never been to Indianapolis. But Having lived in the other 3 places, I can say that St. Louis is the best. Omaha is a farm town compared to KC or STL. There's way more entertainment and culture in STL, and people are more interesting. Omaha has the feeling of a city that's been fabricated.
I would say St. Louis. City is great and there are lots of suburbs that are some of the coolest I've seen. KC would take a close second though. Its got thriving suburbs and I love Kansas City. Indy metro is a bit meh and Omaha needs a few more years to compete in size.
st. louis is much larger and much more sophisticated than all of the other cities. it is a significantly older and more sophisticated metropolitan area with much more to offer. it's probably not fair to make a poll in which st. louis and omaha are compared. kansas city is maybe more comparable to st. louis, but still a very distant second in this poll. st. louis is a more eastern oriented city; the others are undoubtedly great plains. there is a fundamental cultural difference. apples and oranges.
Is there a particular reason why these four metros were chosen? There are others to consider as well including Milwaukee, Detroit, Columbus, Cleveland & Cincinnati. There are even more if one considers more metros under 1 million besides Omaha.

How exactly? The suburbs are a dime a dozen as they are anywhere, but there are tons of areas in east Omaha with lots of character.
