Seems like Oklahoma City residents: Love their city with 85% rating it as excellent or good, Love the way President Trump is running the country as Oklahoma overwhelmingly voted for President Trump, Love their churches who teach conservative family values and the highest of morals.

The good conservatives at many stations in OKC are paying $2.05 to $2.10 a gallon as opposed to liberals in San Francisco paying $4.33 on average.

I wonder if Baltimore, Detroit and Los Angeles would have 85% of their residents rating their city as "excellent or good".

It looks like the Republicans who run Oklahoma City like a very, very diverse economy that sent their unemployment down to 2.6% in April.

No, wonder a vast majority of residents love their conservative city!

It seems like Oklahomans love their rock-bottom taxes, gas prices that are less than half the price of San Francisco or Los Angeles at many stations around their lush, green oasis.

OKC: 3,900 square foot mansion with it's own 7.5 acre park for $200,000 about 20 minutes from their active and vibrant clean-cultured downtown.

Denver $649,000 for a 2 bedroom home built in 1885 with the houses next door able to hear every sneeze and cough and in a very rough area.

Los Angeles $925,000 for a 2 bedroom home in close proximity to third-world disease and the stench of garbage, urine and feces close by.

Thanks for the kind words. Some day we hope to be mentioned in the same breath as Bismark, ND or Cheyenne, Wyoming. It may be a pipe dream but OKC is going to try to reach that lofty status.

Agreed. People can't stand to live in California except for the ton of people who live there. Why if it wasn't for lovecrowds troll posts about California they wouldn't know any better.

If that many people who live in Oklahoma City think it's that great, I'm all in favor of them staying there. After all, someone has to live there and it certainly isn't going to be me.

The Oklahoma City house looks like a fixer-upper, maybe a foreclosure. Honestly, I think it's pretty ugly. Lots of land, though. If I bought it, I would just tear it down and build something nice in its place.

The Denver house looks pretty nice, though kind of tiny. What happened to home prices in Denver? I looked at houses there about 15 years ago, and you could get much larger places for much less money.

The Los Angeles house doesn't look like much, nor do its surroundings. Great view, though. For a quarter of the price, it might possibly be worth it.

Have you ever been there? It's actually a very nice city, and I wouldn't mind living there. Not that it's perfect, by any means. The weather isn't so great, and it's as flat as a pancake (almost). But even with those qualifiers, I'd take it over Los Angeles any day.

bawac despises Oklahoma with every fiber of his being. Why he hasn't moved away from there, I can't imagine. But he is about as impartial towards his state as lovecrowds is towards California. Maybe even less so.
