Macy's to Open Distribution Center - 1,500 jobs

[SXSW]

More jobs coming to the Cherokee Industrial Park.  It's not a corporate relocation but new industrial/warehousing jobs are still good for the economy.

Their first act is to screw over their future neighbors.
That's not a good sign.

What are they doing wrong? bad lighting?

They aren't supporting light rail or bicycle lanes.

Residents near there are complaining they weren't told about it first.

Seriously? NIMBY stuff?

Come down to 101st - 121st & Memorial and tell me about NIMBY. It's called growth and development.

I thought the southies love that stuff (IMBY please).  and are fighting for more big-boxes and strip malls.

You should probably include 91st to 101st too.

Not me. How about you Red? And where is inteller? In any case, 1500 jobs coming to the Tulsa area, but there has to be someone to throw water on it.

Yep. And I'll throw in 91st & Yale for good measure.

Not me.  I was happy with driving a few miles to get stuff.  My choice for any development would have been more big lot size (1 acre or more per house) single family dwelling development.  Keep the 5 or more houses per acre in mid-town.  Artist rightly complains about not having zoning for his chosen (wished for) life style.  My chosen life style has been similarly encroached upon by greedy tax suckers and cracker box builders.

See my response of a few minutes ago.  

Sorry, but I don't even like the development you are in.  It's too crowded.  If this area had stayed at 1 house per acre and no big box stores, traffic would easily be only about 1/4 of its present volume.
