I wouldn't say I liked where we lived when we first moved to Omaha in 1989. It was half a mile from our house to anything. Heck, the nearest grocery store was 2 miles away. 
But it was a "nice, quiet neighborhood" with "good schools".
By the late 90s, the office park across the 'stroad' finally got some in-fill with restaurants and a couple of stores. We still lived a quarter mile from the stroad.
I went to college in nearby Lincoln. When I moved off-campus I lived in what some derisively called "South Central" or "Alphabet town". But I loved how walkable it was. There was a fantastic bakery, a small grocery store, and a couple of locally-owned restaurants within 3 blocks of my apartment. 
I want to live in such a neighborhood again, but this time without the crack houses and ever-present streetwalkers. You stayed on the Runza side of south 13th... >

I truly think part of my political journey was more influenced by NotJustBikes than other properly political content creators.
