Tulsa, OK
You may have a problem with Tulsa. -
9/20/2006Religion is not a problem for me as long as it doesn't dictate what can or cannot be in a given place. People here take religion too far, and think everyone else should feel the way they do. Otherwise they are quickly made the outsider. That is what I don't like. I'm NOT religious, nor will I ever be. That is my choice! It's called freewill. But appartantly that's not good enough here in Tulsa. It effects the overall culture or lack thereof, and that is a shame. Tulsa has a ton of potential as a city. But people here refuse to think outside the box. I've lived in many areas like Seattle, Denver, Phoenix and San Diego. All these places were very nice and had much cultural ammenities to offer it's citizen's, and best of all they did not let religion get in the way of politics like Tulsa and Oklahoma in general does.
Just my two cents. But I honestly feel this is not a good place for the young and single.

I hate Tulsa! -
9/15/2006People here are all about religion. It's the bible-belt and they are very proud of it too. This contributes to the ultra-consevative nature of Tulsa. As a result it effects what you can and cannot do here. Many things you can do in other cities, are just a dream here. There is very little culture or things to do here, except go to church or go fishing. There aren't many great malls or movie theatres. Many of the city's neighborhoods are falling apart. Tulsa has the highest poverty rate in the state. Everything needs a makeover in this town including the roads. There are few jobs that pay decent for the professional compared with other cities of comparable size. That is why Tulsa hasn't grown very much. They have nothing to attract young professionals. People go to school here because it's cheap, then they get the hell out. The lack of traffic is the only upside here. It's hot as hell from May to October!
Sedona, AZ
Too expensive! -
9/14/2006I lived in Sedona for 7 years. You can't work enough to afford a decent home there. Speaking of work there isn't any good work to be found, unless you want to work a minimum wage job at a resort or resturant. No thanks! There is a saying in Sedona. People come to Sedona with money, not to make it. That is the best way for me to describe it. It is beautiful, but you pay dearly for it. Your better off in Phoenix commuting up to visit on the weekends anyway. Sedona is not perfect. When you live there you deal with tourists and traffic that they bring year-round!
Oklahoma City, OK
The whole state is worthless! -
9/14/2006I agree with you James. Oklahoma in general has nothing to offer someone who is educated and desires a good job and cultural emenities. I've lived in Seattle, Denver, Phoenix and many other places. I've found that Oklahoma's policy is to let religion and money control all the decisions. They don't want the best people for jobs here. They want the bare minimum and pay according to those needs. The weather is not as bad as I had envisioned. Not too hot or too cold. A good mixture of both. People are overall fairly friendly. More so if your a regular church going, ultra-conservative republican with a pickup truck. I hate to say it. But it's very true. This place simply sucks!
Bartlesville, OK
Too many conservative republican's for me! -
9/13/2006This town is nothing more than a ton of churches and close minded conservative republicans. Because of this it has a clique feel to it. Not a place I'd want my family to spend any more of our time in.
