I do not understand what these other people are talking about. The city of Lawton is perfect if you like a larger city with a small town feel. The population although is a bit wrong. For one due to the military personnel being deployed and that a lot of the outer lying rural areas( i'm talking 5 miles from town) are not included in the population. This would probably bring it up close to 200,000. I know some people with the police and sheriffs dept. and they say that is probably the biggest problem. The city tries to run like it's population is 100,000 and that does hurt somewhat. You don't have 2 6A high schools and 1 5A high school with just 90 some thousand people. The city is very clean so it just sounds like some of these other people are bitter about having to move from where they were comfortable.
