Reply #19: I can't tell you how sick I am of development.

The growth in Oklahoma City has been unbelievable--the city proper measures 625 square miles, and we're still growing. In another ten years, towns 30 miles away will probably be a part of the city. It's insane.

I miss the fields and the livestock between OKC and the suburbs. In the spring, there would be baby cows and horses, lots of birds and egrets, and the most beautiful hawks. Now there's nothing but rows and rows of MacMansions, asphalt as far as the eye can see, and a bank, a pharmacy, a convenience store, and a dry cleaners on every corner.

It's very depressing.
