Who gives a rat's ass about Dallas or Kansas City's jealously of a project planned in OKC? We know what is in Dallas, Oklahomans helped to build the Metroplex to what it is today. Kansas City is above OKC, yet below Dallas. Both are outstanding cities that are in categories two to five levels above OKC.

Dallas (city) is maxed out; that's why you see areas like Fort Worth (792,727), Arlington (379,577), Grand Prairie (183,372), Garland (234,566), Frisco (136,791) & Plano (274,409) continue to boom. There's no way you can justify that OKC would be in the conversation with a city of Dallas' magnitude. Dallas competes with cities like New York, Chicago & Los Angeles.

OKC has 1 community in its metropolitan area that exceed 100,000, Norman (110,925). Oklahoma City is more aligned with cities like Louisville, Memphis, Richmond & Jacksonville.

We are very fortunate to possess 1 of 30 NBA franchises in the U.S., when you consider that we rank 42nd (metro) and 27th (central city) among cities in population.

Oklahoma City with 600 sq. miles (among 10 largest in U.S.) has potential to chart it's own growth.

To compare OKC to Dallas doesn't mean a thing; it's like a mosquito pushing a train...
