You are right, its probably not going anywhere for at least a decade, but that doesn't mean people can't post their opinions about it on a website.
LOL, of course you use the ONE city with a bad rap, but I listed SEVERAL of just a FEW cities that have great reputations, more culutural life than OKC, AND have industrial "blight" in the urban core. Do you compare NYC to Detroit? Yes Detroit has SERIOIUS issues, but regardless, IS STILL a more urban city with more to do than OKC does NOW!
