No doubt! I hope you're not saying this to counter what you see as me trying to bash the city. Let me be clear just encase... I like OKC and I think it has a lot going for it... things that a lot of other cities it's size, Nashville included, can and should learn from, particularly on the transit front. My comments here are related solely to demand for huge scale urban residential towers. And that isn't a knock on the city... it's just a reality that, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the city has never built a downtown highrise residential tower, and hasn't built one in the city period in about forty years. That doesn't make it bad or anything, I'm just saying, it just seems like given that fact it's a stretch to me to suggest that all of a sudden there is demand for two forty story luxury condo towers and a 1,700 whatever foot apartment tower. Hopefully this time next year I'm eating crow. But now I'm beating a dead horse. I said I'd shut up... I guess I failed in that promise.
