This isn't fair to Omaha. Omaha is an underrated city. It's just too small and can't stack up to Oakland and Orlando when it comes to things to do etc.
Orlando has a much nicer and lively downtown than people seem to know. It has some decent urban neighborhoods and the metro is very close to Tampa. As quickly as people like to write off the tourism industry there, you can't tell me that residents don't take advantage of having major world class theme parks in their backyard. Orlando isn't too bad.
But Oakland wins here. The city is more urban and it's across the bay from one of the world's greatest cities. Too bad they can't get a downtown ballpark done though.
I think Orlando and Omaha have us beat in the skyline department. We have density tho but I sure would like Oakland to have a few taller buildings. Too many NIMBYS.
