These are excellent observations. Also, if I might add something to what you've said here: affordable housing in Omaha is being disastrously managed, and isn't particularly safe for the people living there.
Meanwhile, because of the poorly thought out tax structure, people with modest incomes struggle to afford to buy their own homes--and can barely afford to rent because landlords have been prodded to upgrade their properties to luxury-levels and charge top dollar.
If Republicans in Omaha want to get popular opinion on their side and drive voters to the polls in their favor in future elections, all they would need to do is to commit to fixing this situation and then follow through on fixing it. Healthy cities don't work this hard to put their residents out on the street.
