Both are growing cities/metros and have a lot going for them. If money weren't an option which would you choose between; a growing city (area) in the Central Plains with Ozarks and Arkansas River or the far up Pacific Northwest with its high mountain ranges and the Gulf of Alaska/Pacific Ocean. Which of the two cities do you find better in terms of 1. Location, 2. Scenery/Outdoor activities, 3. shopping, 4. more diverse, etc... Personally I like both but lean more towards Anchorage. But what do you think???
It's not the weather that bugs me. I don't think I'd like the overall lack of diversity in Anchorage. Also, Tulsa isn't as isolated...or at least it doesn's seem that way lol
Anchorage is by far the more beautiful city but its just too isolated to be a real living option for me.
1. Location - Tie - this is all personal preference. Some might consider the exoticness of Alaska their ideal location while others might hate the isolation
2. Scenery/Outdoor activities - Anchorage
3. shopping - Tulsa, anchorage doesn't have much. Tulsa, for its size, has extensive shopping. Shopping in Tulsa puts Oklahoma City to shame
4. more diverse - Tulsa. Tulsa has a huge arts and LGBT community. I'm not sure about Anchorage.
