Could you picture a 43 story 600 foot building or a largw icon in downtown Wichita, Kansas. I have been working on a petition and I don't care if I half to fight the city officials or the billionaire class there. I have left a dozen videos on my petition as well. I am tired of watching Wichita decay. Even if the money had to be raised through a fund or something like that that no one could touch. Are tallest building is 22 to 24 stories 385 feet to the iconic sloped roof and maybe a tad over 400 feet to the tallest antenna. Sorry for getting off topic but I am sick and tired of all the promises from groups to bring something here and there always failed promises. Wichita has a CSA(Combined Statistical Area) of just over 800,000 people so we are certainly are at least a mid sized metro. I have a petition and thought maybe this could also for OKC but my city as well. Anybody worldwide can sign the petition and you do not have to pay a single penny that is totally optional.

As far this petition goes I am intrigued by it but I am not sure if building a 134 story 1,750 foot building would be ideal for OKC. Their CSA is around 1,500,000 or a tad bit more than that. I think maybe though there might be a possibility of a 90 to 100 story 1,150 to 1,250 feet tall building being built. That would end up being one of the tallest buildings in the United States just outside of Chicago and New York. As much as I love really tall buildings I don't believe I would want a building that tall in my city. There isn't enough people in my metro area to ever need something that big. Now I do think there is a decent possibility it may be able to happen in OKC as they have nearly double the people than our CSA.
