...to beautify the city as a whole? At 600 square miles, it is improbable to think that a population of 530,000 (estimate) can produce enough tax dollars to stretch out city wide and beautify the streets. Without density, the people would be expected to pay more to take care of so much land.

So, how much more do you think taxes would have to be raised for our current population to repair roads, plant trees, etc.? Also, how much state and federal funding could Oklahoma City receive?

Or, what would the population need to reach (estimate) in order to keep the current tax rate and beautify the city?

I just wish OKC could improve it's appearance but I think it is so far out of reach at the present time.
