From this afternoon:

If any of you are in the Facebook group OKC Now and Then, I think the name is, you should read what was posted about the Wheeler District this afternoon. I suppose there are more ignorant and mildly racist people out there than I thought. They most definitely do not approve of this development. /Sigh

[Colbafone]

Whoops, double post. Nothing to see here. The Wheeler District will be awesome. That is all.

The reality is we all surround ourselves with people much like ourselves and the internet and particularly social media is shocking when you get a glimpse of how a good chunk of the populace really behaves and believes.

It's the on-line version of going to the fair... Then you go back to your little protected world and forget there are so, so many people that are different than yourself.

Thank you for the update. Are there any official plans that are more in depth than the ones previously shown earlier in this thread.

Will this development have a wall around it? Or will it be open , non gated..

[Urbanized]

^^^^^^^^^
Non-gated. Physical connection to the community and walkability are its key principles. The Western frontage will include commercial/retail that serves everyone; not just residents.

Are there any detailed renderings and site plans for what this area will be?

[ChrisHayes]

That's a big chunk of land! What percentage of the total project is that?

winner.

McAlister does great work.. There's no way I'm moving from my current digs but I'm excited enough to at least daydream about shelling out the $1000 for this.

Ugh?

Requiring people to put down a 1K deposit really shoots the "mixed-income neighborhood" idea right in the foot. Of course, they say they want mixed income, but nothing they've shown us has indicated it will actually be that.

I don't think you have to have the deposit to buy here, once they start building. It seems to me they want input and by requiring a deposit they can limit the input down to people who are seriously considering it. A grand is a good deal of money, but it's really not a lot in the grand scheme of things. If I were closer to buying I'd consider it.

Yeah, you just have to put in a deposit to get early access to the plans and lot to see if you like what is happening. And then you get the opportunity to buy into the starter 250-300k homes. This is going to allow all of the upper middle class young white couples (frankly, like me) to get in before anyone else. The only houses coming after these will be 600K house and tiny homes. Which again will both probably have some early access that will limit the people who can afford the tiny homes from even getting a chance. I just think it's dumb. It makes sense though. This is really valuable land.
