How about no phallic imagery in the schools or in the skyline? ;)

The Rams moved from LA to St. Louis in 1995, then back to LA in 2015. Probably the best comparison. They were in St. Louis for exactly one stadium lifecycle before the lease effectively ran out and...

Just a note: OKC is currently the 46th-largest TV market per Nielsen. The smallest market with both an NHL team and an NBA team is #18 Miami. There's a reason most of the cities from #20-50 -- St....

Haha mine was sarcasm. Yeah, this is a perfectly fine use for this intersection. It's actually a really interesting microcosm of changing consumer preferences, the businesses that have closed since...

Wow, an oil change place will be such an eyesore at an intersection with a Charlie's car wash, a vape shop, a 7-11, a Whataburger, and a Jiffy Lube.

How is the fact that someone bought it evidence that it would have been profitable without TIF? How is it evidence that it was profitable with TIF?

How do you know this development was hugely profitable? Seems very presumptive.

If a project is *that* profitable, it will work without public incentives. Which is the real question here — did...

And yes, I’m aware that tax incentives may or may not be transferable depending on the circumstance. I just don’t understand why. Either the project is worthy of public dollars or it isn’t. It...

Please explain why the city would need or want to claw back the TIF dollars? The goal is to get a project built that is a benefit to the city and the neighborhood. The developers delivered. Who cares...

Umm... the second picture is of the lower park.

Seems like the more Richard complains about the houses being overpriced, the faster they sell.

What's wrong with a museum or exhibits that tell a story from the point of view of the settlers? Especially seeing as how ~97% of Oklahoma Citians are not American Indian?

Have you ever ridden public transit in a major metro? I would hardly say that people on the Chicago L 'interact with each other'. More like aggressively ignore each other (and I wouldn't have it any...

Lol yeah, if the streetcar is not a pleasant environment, i.e. if there are foul-smelling people on it, I won't be riding it.

Congratulations on being so progressive that you'll subject yourself...

nice tombstone for this project

This area sure will have a lot more character once it's filled with generic strip shopping centers and architecturally-deficient apartment complexes.

I will never understand this site.

Google Maps puts Wheeler Park at ~55 acres. We are literally building a 70-acre park almost directly adjacent to this one. So either we are 70 acres short on...

Lol.

$80 million of taxpayer money for that monstrosity. God willing we’ll see it torn up within 20 years.

Gold medal in mental gymnastics.

“I don’t get it. It’s just a great burger for super cheap. What’s the big deal? Anyone could do that.”

But no one else does. Hence the obsession.

Ironic that somebody who wants to orient our downtown to be more car-friendly is pointing out a supposed rejection of progress.

+1

And when this kind of thing doesn't pan out it inevitably spurs a whole new round of feelings of inadequacy, complaints about the political and economic status quo, etc. I honestly prefer it...

Why especially with Rand's building happening? Do you think it will affect the design of this hotel in some way?

Genuinely asking for the sake of clarity :D

Did you even follow the link at the top of the page? The one that has OKC’s population growth as of 2017 at 18th among large metro areas? That’s right between the SLC and DC metros, not terrible...
