I would not consider OKC. It has very little going on culturally and the little nature that’s close to the city is pretty underwhelming. It’s also major chud territory. The entire region basically lives on the oil boom/bust cycles.

I actually just left a comment about Chicago before reading this. If you can handle getting out of the city/burbs, then it can check all your boxes!

i have friends in omaha and nebraska’s about go full bible belt with their next governor and omaha is currently selling itself off to land developers. i would not recommend it.
