You're more than welcome to NOT rent or buy downtown.

That is just one example why folks think of Omaha as a farmer town.

Probably for the same reason that art work in Denver will often include mountains.

And speak for yourself, regarding what "folks" think of Omaha.

Demand and property value is what dictates those prices. If the demand was not there many of these dowtown MDU's would be converted to MTU's or other uses.
