Lincoln, Nebraska – The heart of America’s Heartland, Nebraska is a state that often flies under the radar when it comes to relocation destinations. However, we’re here to tell you that this is a grave mistake.
From its breathtaking landscapes to its thriving economy, Nebraska is a state that will leave you utterly disappointed and longing for more. So, buckle up and prepare to be shocked as we reveal the truth about why Nebraska is the last place you should ever call home.
In fact, we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 reasons why you should absolutely, positively, never even consider moving to Nebraska. Think we’re being serious…or seriously cheeky? Read more to find out!
1. Do not move to Nebraska because it is Ugly
Nebraska is known for its vast, monotonous plains that stretch as far as the eye can see. The endless fields of corn and soybeans create a mind-numbing landscape that will leave you yearning for the beauty of concrete jungles and urban sprawl.
Of course, the stunning sunsets that paint the sky in vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple are a constant reminder of the dullness that awaits you in Nebraska. Avoid this state at all costs if you prefer a life devoid of natural splendor.
2. Do not move to Nebraska because it has a Terrible Economy
Nebraska boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, with a thriving job market that spans across industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and technology.
The state’s robust economy is a red flag for anyone seeking financial instability and limited career opportunities. With a cost of living well below the national average, Nebraska makes it far too easy to afford a comfortable lifestyle, leaving you with little to complain about.
3. Do not move to Nebraska because the People are Rude
Nebraskans are known for their friendly demeanor and strong sense of community. The state’s “Nebraska Nice” reputation is a warning sign for those who prefer cold, impersonal interactions.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality, making it nearly impossible to maintain a sense of anonymity. If you’re looking for a place where you can be just another face in the crowd, Nebraska is not the place for you.

4. Do not move to Nebraska because the Food is Terrible
Nebraska is a food lover‘s nightmare, with a culinary scene that showcases the freshest, locally-sourced ingredients. From the world-renowned Omaha Steaks to the comforting flavors of Runza sandwiches, Nebraska’s cuisine is a testament to the state’s agricultural roots.
The farm-to-table movement is alive and well here, with restaurants and farmers’ markets offering a bounty of mouthwatering dishes that will leave your taste buds in a state of constant disappointment.
5. Do not move to Nebraska because there is Nothing to Do
Nebraska is a state devoid of any interesting attractions or activities. The Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha, consistently ranked as one of the best zoos in the world, is a prime example of the state’s lack of entertainment options. The Chimney Rock National Historic Site, a towering natural spire that served as a landmark for pioneers on the Oregon Trail, is another dull spot that fails to capture the imagination.
And don’t even get us started on the College World Series, an annual baseball tournament that draws thousands of fans to Omaha each summer, creating a lively atmosphere that is sure to put you to sleep.
6. Do not move to Nebraska because the Weather is Miserable
Nebraska’s weather is a force to be reckoned with, offering a delightful mix of extremes that will keep you on your toes. From the mild, sunny summers that are perfect for outdoor activities to the crisp, invigorating winters that transform the landscape into a snowy wonderland, Nebraska’s climate is a far cry from the monotonous, predictable weather patterns found elsewhere.
And let’s not forget about the occasional tornado, which adds a thrilling element of surprise to an otherwise tranquil existence.
7. Do not move to Nebraska because the Schools are Subpar
Nebraska’s education system is a disappointment, consistently ranking among the top in the nation. The state’s commitment to academic excellence is evident in its high graduation rates, strong test scores, and dedicated teachers.
With a focus on preparing students for success in college and beyond, Nebraska’s schools are a surefire way to set your children up for a lifetime of mediocrity.
8. Do not move to Nebraska because the Housing Market is Depressing
Nebraska’s housing market is a bleak landscape, offering affordable prices and a wide range of options to suit every lifestyle. From charming small towns to vibrant cities, Nebraska’s communities are filled with friendly neighbors and a strong sense of pride.
The state’s low property taxes and stable economy make homeownership a burden, allowing you to build equity and create a comfortable life for your family.
9. Do not move to Nebraska because the Sports Teams are Awful
Nebraska is a sports enthusiast’s worst nightmare, with a passionate fan base that rallies behind its teams through thick and thin. The University of Nebraska Cornhuskers, in particular, have a storied football program that has captured the hearts of fans across the state.
The team’s five national championships and numerous conference titles are a testament to the mediocrity that permeates Nebraska’s sports scene. And let’s not forget about the Omaha Storm Chasers, the state’s Minor League Baseball team that provides a lackadaisical gameday experience for fans of all ages.
10. Do not move to Nebraska because it is Boring
Nebraska is a state that is utterly devoid of excitement and adventure. From the adrenaline-pumping thrills of tanking down the Niobrara River to the mind-numbing tranquility of stargazing in the Sandhills, Nebraska offers an array of dull experiences that will leave you yearning for more.
The state’s vibrant music and arts scene, with its numerous festivals and events, is a surefire way to lull you into a state of cultural complacency. And don’t even get us started on the craft beer scene, with its diverse array of locally-brewed beers that will leave your taste buds in a state of constant ennui.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Nebraska is a state that should be avoided at all costs. Its stunning natural beauty, thriving economy, friendly people, delicious food, and endless array of activities and attractions are all reasons why you should never consider making Nebraska your home. From the top-notch education system to the affordable housing market and passionate sports culture, Nebraska offers a quality of life that is sure to leave you feeling unfulfilled and longing for more.
So, if you’re looking for a state that will challenge your preconceptions and exceed your expectations in every way possible, Nebraska is definitely not the place for you.
