Okay so we've seen the slow transformation of the river banks on the SW side of town. This is mainly being driven by Dell. There is some dirt moving over there ago, so perhaps they are finally ready to expand again. However, no one else has really go in just yet. One this has to be questioned...

What is the city doing to improve the safety of this neighborhood? Again tonight, another murder about a block south of the Dell facility. About 2-3 months ago there was that murder off of I-44 in the same neighborhood.

I'm all for the city putting money up to get these larger companies in and investing in OKC, but the city - you think - would be doing something to make sure these companies will feel safe. I assume Dell uses rent-a-cops that are probably in their 80s...so I doubt they'll stop anyone. Does anyone else feel concerned about this? Personally it doesn't directly impact me, but we need to keep in mind Dell was being pursued very heavily by Norman. The site where Norman wanted to place Dell is a heck of a lot safer than where they ended up.

The river can be a great thing, but not as long as the city allows these ghettos to continue to exist. Get in and clean them up.
