I’m not sure about everyone else, but I can point to a very specific date as to when we all became unhappy
November of last year.
Y'all were pretty miserable before that.

Re: Tulsa Remote
#132It seems like every dozen threads or so in the last year have at least one thread with bizarrely cantankerous / dismissive replies, with a few lonely voices saying when did you all get so unhappy? Tulsa's initiative here is really, really good . It doesn't matter if you want to live in Tulsa, specifically (fine! don't move!), and it doesn't matter if the incentive is high enough to make it Worth It to You Personally.…
This is absolutely amazing concept and is a step forward in the right direction. I wish more "non-popular" cities did this.
Whether they succeed or not, it's impressive they came up with this rather than throwing tax cuts to corporations.

#133https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/21/7-us-cities-that-will-pay-yo... Financial relocation incentives don't appear to be anything new, but the alternatives never seemed to ring any bells for me. Hard to pin down precisely, but I think part of it was the fact that a lot of them were asking you to settle down in what might as well be the frontier in terms of urban density and amenities, or maybe the city in question was a bu…

What city do you live in and do you judge them by what they did 100 years ago? Not sure why that is relevant.
Something like this doesn't just blow away in the dust. There are wounds caused by this that will run deep, affecting the community for generations.
So like Los Angeles?

#136you'd be real close to one of tulsa's best features: https://www.youtube.com/svseeker -- dude's building a giant scientific research boat in his front yard and will host just about anyone that wants to help him work on it. i've been out there twice and it's awesome!

#137What I’ve never understood- what prevents me from, as a remorlte worker setting up a business in a tax haven and charging through that... I mean if this loophole is available to extremely well off individuals and companies why not for services...

No you have to move at the very least.

#138I've been working remote for 7 years, more recently as a software developer consultant. I showed this to my wife about two hours ago and she got really excited. Neither of us like where we are living now, and have been eyeing a relocation to Texas, notably Austin or possibly Dallas. But this is definitely worth a look, based on what we've seen so far.
I'm curious if others in the tech crowd are considering the same. If you are please post your story. It would be encouraging to see other interested this offer. Heck we could be neighbors.

#140> $10,000 cash. One thing to note, the state income tax rate in Tulsa is 4.44%, so if your business makes $100,000 a year in profit, expect to pay around $4,500 in state taxes. I live in the great state of Tennessee with zero state income tax, and I'd much rather be in Nashville than Tulsa.
Plus Nashville is surrounded by Tennessee and hundreds of musicians and music lovers. Tulsa is surrounded by Oklahoma.
