What city do you live in and do you judge them by what they did 100 years ago? Not sure why that is relevant.

Are you arguing that the people from that event 100 years ago either all had a change of heart and raised their kids in respect of other humans, or massively left Tulsa for whatever reason, despite their attachment to the town ? Because short of that, 100 years is roughly two or three generations, and that’s a short time to change the cultural composition of a town’s wealthy layer.

I have a sister who recently bought a house in Tulsa. Their house is so large it's got rooms she's forgotten about... Pretty new, pool, nice neighborhood. Cost less than $300K. I don't know about the school district (Jenks). I'd sure like to see some progressive voters move down there.

>I'd sure like to see some progressive voters move down there. Related to this, I wonder what the born&raised locals would think of this incentive. (gentrification?)

Both Oklahoma and Vermont have close to a 5% state income tax on the first 100k of income, so for many on HN, this is more like a rebate on state income taxes over the first 2 years. I guess if you always dreamed of moving to these places this could be that little nudge to finally try it out.

This means that states without income tax (WA, NV, TX, TN etc) are yet still more enticing for most high-earning professionals. I agree with other commenters saying this doesn't do much except help the people who always were considering moving to OK/VT.

The Portland area would dominate the aggregate because they have 80-90% of the population. I mean, how many in tech are going to move to Pendleton anyways? I’ve heard Bend is kind of hot these days, but went through during a forest fire and wasn’t impressed. Oklahoma is a bit more balanced on population than Oregon.

As someone who grew up in Tulsa and have lived outside of Portland for almost 15 years, I feel confident saying that Portland has gone down the drain in the past few years and is completely overrun with heroin camps covering every inch of public parks and green space. It's still better than Tulsa.

Eastern Washington is kind of bland on everything but natural scrub scenery. Better to work in Vancouver without a state income tax and then shop in Portland without a sales tax.

it really depends where - a rural area outside of the tricities is going to be super dry, scrubby and bland... If you like mountains with real forests, go to north Okanogan county near the BC border, or Ferry or Stevens counties which are similar to northern Idaho. https://www.google.com/search?q=ferry+county+wa&num=100&clie... The area around Lake Chelan is nice but it get super hot in summer. Not Arizona or NM hot,…
