If you’ve spent any time in the gardening corners of social media lately, you’ve likely come across a trend called “chaos gardening.”

OMAHA — State Sen. Margo Juarez of Omaha knows firsthand the complications and costs that can arise from driving a personal car daily back and forth to Lincoln.

She says the state’s broader workforce likely would benefit from a passenger rail system between certain cities.

OMAHA — Nebraska’s largest city would add an estimated 1,900 affordable homes to its urban core with a $40 million boost tied to the property tax growth expected from Omaha’s controversial streetcar project.

The dwellings would be a mix of rental, for-sale and rehabbed properties in a 770-block area around the streetcar’s initial downtown-midtown route, which is set to be up and running in 2027.
