- MattGaiser 6y agoAnyone on here who has actually done this? Is Tulsa a competitive option for remote workers?
- quietthrow 6y agoCompetitive or not culture change is a big part of the equation. There would be a huge difference between say Bay Area and Tulsa or Florida and Massachusetts for example. I think we will see more relocation but initially a large percentage will within A smaller geographical area say Bay Area to Sacramento for eg. Some change but it’s not entirely a new “country”
- quietthrow 6y agoBe prepared for a lot more of these kinds of bids in the coming years. We are all Walking talking tax banks concentrated around certain parts of United States. States that have fewer of these tax banks want more and nothing wrong with that. Clusters cause echo chambers. The more evenly distributed the populous the lesser and/or smaller the echo chamber specially when the populous works “nationally” (by virtue of being remote). Hopefully this will result in the populous being more tolerant and accepting which in turn will demand and drive more centrist policies. (Personally I think that is one of the reason why US is one of the very few countries that has citizenship by birth. It’s a sure fire way to increase the number of tax banks in the country)

- csdreamer7 6y agoWhat is Tulsa's broadband like? Not sure where to find the info after a glance at the FAQs. If anyone from this program is reading this please include local broadband providers with those large apartment complexes and speed. If the broadband is poor-a local gigabit fiber initiative that the local apartments are mandated to offer would be better than bribing high income individuals to move to a city center. Got to hand it to Tulsa. Still better than paying some large companies millions in tax breaks to open a warehouse w/o air conditioning.
