Lived in Dallas proper since 1980. We came here because the jobs were better, and we were early in our marriage. Most of my jobs were traveling jobs, and I had more options out of DFW. And was home much quicker on Fridays.

I’m starting to feel a kinship to @MetroBoonein as I too grew up in Tulsa and have been in Edmond/OKC ever since. I love both cities. Both are great with a lot to offer. Agree that MAPS and the Thunder coming and being so good outta the gate have helped city pride and helped all the various districts thrive.
Tulsa has an equally strong civic pride imo and dribble is right about the trees lol
Again, lived in both and love both

I’ve lived in Tulsa, OKC, and currently a Dallas suburb. Why a hell no to the latter?

Lived in OKC suburb and now in a DFW suburb that on the FW side. Hard no to Dallas or the immediate suburbs, just not a fan of the layout and overall vibe. Not for me.
I think midtown Tulsa is more livable than all of those options.
Quite a surprise.

Don’t get me wrong I loved living in Tulsa and I appreciate midtown. Based on my experience I think one could enjoy very similar living experiences in all 3 of those locations.

Well, to be precise the cost of living as it applies to housing in many parts of “midtown” are now VERY inflated.

To wrap things up, there is no such thing as a factual-based better place to live. All opinionated based on personal preferences.

Between what areas?
I’m just speaking in a general sense. They’re basically the same.
