Does OKC really need to designate more parts of this end of the city multifamily or should we plan to make use of what we have now? I'm in favor of the later.
Basically all of NW 10th needs to be torn down and rebuilt and not in apartments. That is a real ghetto. That doesn't mean that multifamily building should be denied in other areas until this area is rebuilt though.
