You can thank the housing program that was started in the 90's for most of NW OKC and the area south of Quail's demise.

This program moved section 8 housing into suburban areas. The completely twisted theory is if you move people that are trash into nice neighborhoods they become better people.

In reality you move the trash into the nice areas they destroy the neighborhoods and those with money move away to neighborhoods that have no section 8. To make sure it never comes in you move to a gated community that has bi-laws that prohibits section 8.

The hardworking people are left behind because they cannot afford to move.

Proof of this is in the area around Wiley Post Elementary. In 1996 when one of my family members moved in it was a very nice area. The family member of mine like the area because the school was in walking distance to her home. Section 8 took over the apartments and now the area is trash.

The local neighborhood association has put up no trespassing signs. They state in a little nicer manner "If you do not live in a house in this neighborhood stay out".
