Tulsa Now Forum - Getting people to move to Tulsa
What would make Tulsa a more attractive place for people to move? One set of suggestions includes developing higher ed, fix infrastructure, overhaul the Chamber and development along river tributaries (e.g., Elm or Crow Creek).
Another idea: "It would be nice to have an intact public realm in which Tulsa could easily display it's differing personalities. Boston Av. would be my candidate as Tulsa's great public street."
It sounds like a living museum of historic homes, but actually it's a planned community south of Anderson in east central Indiana, combining traditional neighborhood development with a more rural feel. "Simpler Times Village is unique because residents will be able to live, work and enjoy agriculture all in one place. You can open a bed and breakfast, own a simple vacation cabin or build a fine estate. You can have gardens and chickens in your backyard. You may hang up a pretty sign to say that you sell pottery from your home!" (Via Rod Dreher, who describes it as If Thomas Kinkade were a crunchy con new urbanist.)
