OKC jealous of Tulsa, cries "not fair"

I'll never go after that doosh Cornett made his comments.

I'm waiting for OKCPulse the Houstonian  to chime in.

LOL ... first, never ever ever ever call me a Houstonian.  And second, I think I am worn out on the Tulsa vs. OKC rivalry.  We are what we are, Oklahomans.  I have noticed lately that, through the accomplishments of each city, OKC and Tulsa will continue to challenge each other by raising the bar in their own cities.  As long as the competition stays heated, each city will continue to become better places to live and work.

My wife and I have family in both places and I love visiting both cities each year we go back.  Tulsa feels like a second home now, OKC is my original home, and right now I am islanded in Houston.

Artist nails it - Tulsa is not yet ready for a V2025 Part II.  I think that is in large part because there hasn't been any development around the BOK and other downtown devleopment is somewhat spread out and not obvious unless you spend a lot of time downtown.  People in OKC supported MAPS II because they saw that MAPS I worked and bought into the idea that it would work again.  

The next couple of years are critical - more clear successes and the attraction of private development $ to downtown because of Tulsa's investment need to happen.  When it does, and I believe it will, I think a majority of Tulsans will want to keep moving forward (and PlaniTulsa's outcome demonstrates many realize that downtown must continue to be the focal point and a priorty).

I doubt that Tulsa County will successfully initiate another V2025 or 4 to Fix anytime in the near future, if something like that were to pass it would need to be limited to City of Tulsa only.

The schism between Tulsa and the burbs is growing, not just at the government level but also at the citizen level. The failed river tax, jail brouhaha, river bridge, fair grounds anexation, and streets package are good examples of how wide the divide is.

I hate OKC because they treat Tulsa like crap.  I used to go there for concerts at the Ford Center but now I just go to the BOK Center or Cains.  Why would I go to OKC now?  To see the Coyote Ugly or their low ranking NBA team that they won't share with the rest of the state.  Hell no.

The facts are these OKC is a cowtown it always had been and always will be. The NBA team was going to be called the Oklahoma City Cowpokes but there mayor said no.
