   "Tulsa's angelic investor" - this sounds as though we're counting on Kanbar to save us.
   Fact is, we should be counting on ourselves to do just that.
   
   Of course, looking at some of the previous comments, the topic deviates toward that of crime (which certainly figures into the business/investment equation).
   
   Might add my own comments on that topic: Tulsa police are long overdue for an attitude change.
   I echo the experience that cino24 and tulsaguy, having several crime issues where TPD showed indifference (at best) to clues and witnesses to wrongdoing.
   
   But we'll save that for another time and another story.
   I'm curious to see what Kanbar plans to do in this down economy and how it will affect Tulsa.

   tulsaguy... I had fingerprints on my car too! Perfect impressions on the side where the window was busted out. I specifically asked them to call someone out to fingerprint. They just gave me a lame excuse. Even with evidence right in their face, they won't act on it. My mom had her purse stolen from the 81st & Lewis WalMart a few weeks ago. Walmart will only pull the video if a detective/officer requests it. She can't get the detective assigned to her case to get the tapes pulled!! It's so lame. This is going to keep happening unless we get these guys/girls off the streets!

   Good becca_w; i'm sure you will raise the IQ in both states with your departure from Oklahoma. We do need more of that and less of what you spew out of your pie hole!

   Shit I had a $30.000 dollar trailer with two big industrial powerwashing machines on it stolen from midtown.I had backed the trailer in the driveway(which is two cars wide) and then parked a white full sized van in front of the trailer. Got up the next morning to see the van had been pushed out into the road and the powerwashing trailer was gone. But had two big greasy hand prints not finger prints I mean the entire persons hands both of them perfectly imprinted in grease from under the van when they broke a linkage and put the van in neutral by hand then pushed the van back far enough to steal the trailer. So called the so called tulsa police out . Took them two hours to show up busy they said. Then they asked about one minute of questions then left didn't ask a neighbor if they seen anything or nothing didn't even take a picture of the van hood or take a pic of the trailer that i had ready. Called about fifty times and never could get to the investigator to call me back ect. finally gave up freaking BS if you ask me . hell thought about just starting to steal stuff too why not.Don't have to worry about getting caught unless you call the cops first and tell them your stealing something and give them the time and video just a joke ........I had to file bankruptzy because of this shit....

   I second that becca! My mid town Tulsa home was burglarized 3 times in one year! My car window was busted out and my purse was stolen too! Police did nothing on all of the above. The detective assigned to my case didn't even have the courtesy to return my multiple emails. I moved to Glenpool & feel much safer. Tulsa Police need to get their act together. My brother is a detective in Kyle Texas and his department would never just blatantly ignore the public like Tulsa does. They have a chip on their shoulder from the cutbacks and blame their lack of concern and effort on cutbacks.

   It's ok to change your mind.
   Also things happen in peoples lives and economically.
   I do have a problem with the evictions to have the building and view to himself though.
   To put many people out of there homes when you could've built another building (heck buy the lot next door).
   Apparently money isn't an issue.
   Morally i would've built myself another building that other people had never slept in it rather than to give people such a short time to move for your rich selfishness. You don't know these peoples hardships or what bad had came there way and you added to it by taking their homes.
   Please promote your worthless crap tasting blue vodka somewhere besides Tulsa.
   If you can't bring a boost to Tulsa then why step Tulsa back with your Blue vodka crap.
   We don't need another negative without positives!!!

   The terrifying crime wave that has Tulsa in its grasp could be a major reason any rational human being would have second thoughts about investing or developing here. I personally plan to exit Oklahoma in general and Tulsa in particular as soon as possible.
