[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3144341, member: 1132"] So was George Soros. Not that I'm comparing them to each other because I'm not. Just pointing out the flaw in that line of observation. Again, in your opinion. Better education, yes. More recreational opportunities yes. More leisure opportunities, yes. More jobs yes[B]*[/B]. More people just for the sake of more people? No. You can tout all the economic advantages you want, but neither George Kaiser nor any of these other Tulsa luminaries have managed to locate an affordable grocer/market in North Tulsa area. So let's just say the giving only goes so far. Affordable housing, solid infrastructure, access to basic necessities, decent to good paying jobs [B]*[/B]that match the skills and abilities of the local population[B]*[/B] and low crime rates are the keys to making Tulsa a better place to live. Importing both the companies and the talent from predominantly liberal enclaves who are trying to escape the onerous taxes and costs of living they burdened themselves with, just to do it all over again in Tulsa? No. Just... No. Again just my opinion, but it's not an unreasonable one. :) [/QUOTE]
