City Population
Moderator: S2k Moderators
The city of Omaha PROPER ~ 400,000, approx.
The metropolitan area, which includes about 8 counties including both the NEbraska and Iowa side (Council Bluffs, Bellevue, etc), about 900,000.
Though it is not officially part of the metro area, it could very will be interconnected in the future. Lincoln, Nebraska's capitol, stands at about 200,000 or so inhabitants. Plans are in the works to increase I-80 between Omaha and Lincoln (a 50 mile stretch) from its current 4-lane rural landscape to a 6-lane urban freeway. If you were to include Lincln and areas in between, the population would be pushing 1,000,000.

My hometown (Atlanta suburb): Way, way too many.
School District population: 600,000K. TOO many.
(I've lived here in the same area since 1968. I've seen the way way too many arrive and not leave. I really miss Atlanta when it was a smaller place.
I remember visiting friends in what I think was Decataur on their farm. That was in the early 60's I think. Flown through there quite a few times in the last 10 years and it definitely has changed!!!!

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is any farm land left in the Decatur/Dekalb County area. I don't spend much time on that side of town, though.
However, the entire Atlanta area HAS changed dramatically in the last 10-15 years---and not always for the better.
One of these days I will get the heck out of dodge. I don't much care for big-city life, traffic jams, and elbow-to-elbow people, people, people everywhere. Small town life (like we once had here) is more suited to me.

Hey stormraiser, I never quite understood how municipalities work in New York State. Aren't towns the next smaller subdivision below counties? And each town can have several unincorportated villages? Is that how it works? Are there also incorportated boroughs? Are they a subdivision of towns, or are they equal to towns as a subdivision of counties?
????????
