Many of them have been moving here to Oklahoma City over the past three to five years. They’ve been buying up a bunch of shopping centers, downtown property, apartments, etc. It’s helped to keep our real estate market fairly steady. Oklahoma City is a great place to live and a great place to do business. Homes are reasonably priced here and property taxes are surprisingly low, especially compared to California. I’m afraid that’s all going to change over the next 15 to 20 years if people from California continue to migrate here. I’m mostly concerned about how this could affect our political landscape in the long run. If you are a conservative from California, we welcome you. If you are a liberal from California, Washington State welcomes you.

I love OK. My grandpa lives there and we visit him. He lives out in the middle of nowhere, Stuart. So peaceful. My mother and I yearn to take a road trip out there. Love the drive.
The WalMart in McAlester was my first Super WalMart experience. We order our steak seasoning from Lovera’s in Krebs, a great little Italian deli. Fresh mozzarella, yum. Yearning.....

Oh no! This is not a nice place to live. If we aren’t having tornadoes we’re having ice storms. The wind from the North has nothing to stop it other than a few barbed wire fences in Kansas and it blows directly off the North Pole, you’ll freeze before you can get to the outhouse. In the summertime the heat and insects will make life intolerable....NO don’t be telling people this is a great place to live, we need to keep flyover country scary for the East and West coast crowds. Okay? : ^)
