I see no reason why the state of Oklahoma would want to hold down "T" Towne. OKC does have the advantage as being a straight shot into the D/FW MetroPlex. The more growth the state allows in Oklahoma the better it is for everyone... OKC is one of the largest cities area-wise in the USA the other one is Jacksonville, FL. I forgot which one is in the #1 spot. OKC is really vast and spread out no question about that. I am a big fan of Fort Worth Texas, I think that's a great city and a good place to raise a family. But that's just me and my opinion.[]

Fort Worth has some real housing bargans, I looked at some homes on-line. $50,000 can buy a nice small size home in a good area of the city in far west Fort Worth, and around Benbrook Lake. (I seen an ad for one home that has mineral rights included in the sale in far south Fort Worth- that's a good deal) On a side note, I was happy to learn that downtown Fort Worth kept that tornado damaged skyscraper and turned it into a apartments. There was talk around 2003 of tearing it down. That was a nice skyscraper until a twister hit it. Today it looks nice once more.. I came across some pictures on google of the F-2 twister that hit downtown Fort Worth in March of 2000 it's pretty intresting to see and read about. Makes one wonder what a F-5 twister could do to a downtown area.
