My wife and I both worked up there for a few years. We had originally thought about moving up there rather than commuting. After talking to coworkers at both of our jobs, it became obvious that the trend was to either live 30min outside Tulsa for the schools or pay for private school. We commuted for 3 years until we found jobs back in OKC.
I know a lot of people that love living in Tulsa and would never consider leaving. I really enjoy going up there for a weekend of activities here and there. I really dont think I could be happy living up there. The pace just feels a lot slower and they are far more "woke" than most areas around OKC.
Also, I read that to mean they actually did some forward planning and budgeting of the funds received in 2015 so they had an emergency reserve to handle unknowns like distance learning for several months at a time. I wish the state of Oklahoma shared that skill.
That’s alright. A good many Tulsan area people would never consider living in OKC (aka Dallas North).
