I would love to see a map of OKC service area showing costs and revenue to see which neighborhoods ACTUALLY pay for themselves and who doesn’t. I doubt it works out strictly on a “distance from city-center” basis. For instance, water from Lake Hefner needs to be cheaper to residents close to the lake. Sorry downtown. How about sewer services? Etc, etc.

The heart is more important than the arm and we can get by with just one arm and save on the cost of material for a sleeve, and for an extra glove. Just amputate. Lol. Seems as though it all works together.

Focusing on only one aspect ignores the benefits brought to this city from its affordability and certain lifestyle. Believe it or not, people enjoy affordable houses with yards and not sharing a wall, floor and ceiling with a neighbor not necessarily of their choosing. Go figure.
