I too have to agree about the town of Sidney itself and the corruptness. I know first had that the housing situation there is beyond horrid! The landlords that bought up housing that should have been condemned and never did one ounce of repairs will some day be held accountable! Families were forced to live in homes with no smoke detectors, mice, mold, broken down furnaces, broken windows, unsafe cracks in the foundation, sewage leaking and many other undesirable conditions. They were over charged in rent. Families could not call upon one agency to get help with their landlord's neglect of their property either from the building inspector, to the city manager, to the sheriff. I know one thing, when Cabela's closes its doors those slum lords will be left with their pieces of sh-- and no one to pay them the outlandish rent they want. Maybe that will show a teeny bit of justice to those slum lords.

when I looked there several years ago there, 9 of the 10 houses for sale were inhabitable or couldn't pass a real inspection, none of the rentals were up to code, I told one slumlord that he should be paying and arming me to keep it from becoming a crack house. The slumlords were in the pocket of the company, they didn't care if they rented or sold to you or the next person. never stayed anywhere there without some heat under the pillow. now there are 122 homes for sale and since they canned the offshore contractors, probably as many rentals. too many shake down businesses taking advantage of the folks sucked into "my nature", it's in no ones nature to get hosed, unless you're night job is near the truck stops.
