OKC is boring and OK as a state is very weird but OKC is pretty close to Dallas for short trips to a more big city environment. OK also has some amazing state parks and outdoor recreation opportunities. CA state parks have some of the worst facilities in any state park system!

I visited some friends in OKC a couple years ago, and I agree with comments that the it's practically impossible to compare to SF. My friends say OKC's best asset is the low cost, and I enjoyed the artists' district and found interesting things to visit in my four days there. But outside of nightlife there's not much for residents to do. You're pretty much completely car dependent; lots of parts of the city even lack sidewalks, making even walking around tough. If you have a strong Christian religious life there's strong community there, but my friends, who aren't churchgoers, have a harder time making connections.

San Francisco does well in the areas OKC lacks, but the COL these days is a high barrier to entry. That said, there are plenty of cities that are less expensive than SF while offering more opportunities than OKC.

The falafel and hummus are much better in Beirut.

Dom Perignon is expensive. Mad Dog 20/20 is cheap.

There are reasons for this.
