The REAL problem in the Great Tulsa Sidewalk Controversy

Nobody wants to admit the REAL problem in the conflict between Tulsa hipster walktavists and Maple Ridge is George Kaiser FF Gathering Place.  It is simply an over-the-top, New York City white elephant being shoved up a Tulsa crack.

Michael J. Sanditen, one of Tulsa's esteemed real estate developers, noted, "$3 million per acre of runaway development."

Tulsa is obviously not New York City.  They get around town, by walking, biking, or transit.  There's only ONE real convenient, comfortable way for Tulsans to get around, the car.  Tulsa simply has NO infrastructure to support the Gathering Place.

The Gathering Place is a ridiculous, enormous traffic generator, sure to convert Maple Ridge into a perpetual motor vehicle parking lot.  Such a waste of $350 million, which could have been simply gifted to Tulsa Transit.
