I don't blame the Sheriff's for that.....What Chicago got themselves into they can work their way out (if they wise up)....what are the odds
^^That's my thought also. Covid may just be a handy reason.
I wonder if they look at Chicago and they are like the old song lyric: "Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go."

Concerning. I don't want to be skeptical of people moving here, but part of me is. I have no interest in going purple, or worse.
As a Cali refugee, you should be.
Most people who come to Oklahoma are coming because it’s seen as a right wing bastion.
However, there are people who try to get businesses to move here. Those people should be hung from lampposts. Bringing businesses and money here will bring the type of people we don’t want here.

When they pay people $10,000 to move to Tulsa and work remotely, we will see the same thing. And we’ll lose the affordability factor. That million dollars won’t last near as long.
That's what doesn't process for me. Our cost of living and people IMO are what made OK great. But cities and the State are always about maximum 'growth'. I don't see it as a necessarily positive thing. Take Yukon, for example. Over the last 10 years we've added every type of shopping and food chain there is, along with the traffic to match. What most apparently see as exciting growth, I see as the town morphing into exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place by living here.

End crotchety rant, lol.

Ive been telling my wife we didnt move quite far enough outside city limits to avoid infiltration over the next 10 years. Ive experienced it all my life and there is little more frustrating than city folks moving to the country and then making it feel like what they were fleeing.

Yep - I always refer back to the chicken fighting referendum. Three towns decided what the whole state could do. How many of the voters in that decision had ever been to a cockfight involving chicken do you reckon?
