    Yes, great shot and really shows the building scale, which is often missed in other angles.

    Someone should add that picture to OKC's wikipedia page. Really one of the best I've ever seen.

    Unfortunately, it's only missing one thing... people!

    Cool how everyone loves the street wall. Spartan, myself, and the other urbanist have been trying to make this point for years. Glad to see it catching on.

    It was. Had I not been driving in rush hour, I would have snapped a pic.

    It does the exact same thing every single morning. I am fortunate to be able to see it driving North up I-35 everyday.

    You say that but take a journey over to the Downtown Elementary School thread and you will see what I am talking about. By encouraging a street wall around the school you think I would have kicked someone's puppy. And if you think that is bad, take a gander at the Toby Keith Cancer Hotel thread.

    That's only a few other people, you make it sound like you and Nick are the only people on here who want an urban city. LOL

    Spartan has earned the respect but doesn't keep patting himself on the back and telling the rest of us how stupid we are. How praise for someone's fine photograph gets turned into another "I told you I am smarter than you" is pretty telling.

    Spartan is a serious student and practitioner who has and is experiencing urban experiences worldwide to better form his expertise on the subject. He seems to live his convictions. Some of us are pragmatic urbanists who fully appreciate the educated and reasoned strict urban viewpoint but view the highly simplistic and rigid dogmatic opinions as less palatable.

    Spartan, while testy, should have earned everyone's respect on this board. His contributions have been significant.

    I wasn't a big fan of his when I first started on this forum but that's because I didn't quite understand him and now that I understand him and his points of view I have a great deal of respect for him.

    You have to admit, the suburbanist far out number the urbanist. Just look at the last several posts as evidence.

    I do three days a week. The other 4 days are spent in one of the denses urban areas in the country. That perspective allows me to compare the 2 lifestyles side by side on a weekly basis. All I really think about is how much suburban living costs me in yard maintenance, 2 cars, gasoline, property taxes, higher utility bills, time wasted driving, social isolation, etc... Is urban living for everyone? Nope, but offering a choice in OKC is hard when every attempt to urbanize downtown is met with resistance.

    ....nor does the forum owner (California) and I am in the process of moving to Denver splitting time between here and Austin until February and when the house is sold in Austin. Just because we don't live in OKC anymore doesn't mean that we don't have its' best interests in mind when we comment. I spent 37 of my 47 years in OKC and my parents, sister and nephew still live there and want the best the place can be for them in the future. That would be a place where you can have a choice of urban or suburban living with options similar to how both Denver and Austin have transformed their downtown and near downtown areas in recent years. There is absolutely no reason why the two can't coexist, it seems to everywhere else and did many, many years ago in OKC.
