Would you vote yes/no on moving your company HQ to Oklahoma City & more pay?

Of course, I never claimed that OKC has as many bars, restaurants, museums, theaters, etc. as NYC. That would be silly.

I was asking a specific person what they meant by "nightlife" and if that person could be specific about the real impact of moving to OKC.

Regarding the numbers of the various venues in NYC: What proportion of NYC's bars, say, does any one person use?

To me, "nightlife" means being able to do 'something', be it going to a bar, a restaurant, a show, dancing, karaoke, whatever it is you're into, any given night, and being able to do something DIFFERENT, somewhere ELSE the next night, or the next week, etc.

The pure # of choices has a value in itself, and that's what NYC supplies.

As for 'proportion of NYC's bars', I don't see how that's important. I have two designated 'leave work a couple hours early on a Friday' bars, and one bar I've hung out with AOers a couple times, but other than that, I've been to probably 20 different bars in the last year.

Let's pretend that there are two towns. There's a small town that has one movie theater that shows most of the current new US movies. There's also a big town with a dozen different movie theaters. One shows mostly Indie flicks. Another shows old foreign films. One shows "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" every night. One is an iMax theater and shows a mix of first-run 3-D movies and nature films. One shows most of the current first run movies, but does so in big plush seats, and they bring supper and beer to your seat. Another has a big screen, and shows one really popular movie on a bigger screen than the multi-plexes, and the refreshment stand has really good fresh organic eats. The other five are ordinary multi-plexes, but the starting times of all the films are different from each other.

And let's say that the only movie theater I go to is the iMax theater.

What proportion of the movie theaters in the big town do I use? Am I any better off for being in the big town than I would be in the small town?

Do you understand why your question doesn't make any sense?

But, if the only movies you want to see are the a few of the current new ones? Then the bigger city has no advantage.

So, once again, it gets back to my original request for a non-hypothetical.

it does actually. because prior to going to the movies, there's dinner. but you don't just want to go to that one restaurant that's close to the theater. well, worry not when you're in NYC, because there's most likely going to be a theater right next to your restaurant, and there's a billion restaurants. Oh, you like to drink but single and have to drive? Just wave to one of the gazzilion taxis that don't disappear after 9 o'clock like in po city.
Ugh, I'm getting out at 12 o'clock and I'm craving ramen. WELL THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE IPPUDO IS STILL OPEN!

maybe you are confusing me with someone who claimed NY is a better place for anyone to live? Sure, if you only ever want to do stuff that you can do in a small city, and if you don't mind going to the same places every time, and if you don't have family near NY, you are probably better off in Oklahoma.

As for specifics, I already listed a lot of specific, non-hypothetical things that I myself have actually done in NYC that I doubt you can do in OKC.

What on earth are you looking for? Are you just looking for a fight?

You will get reimbursed moving expenses up to $10,000 per employee, $4,000 salary increase, lower rent and utility by far, And.... In Oklahoma City you will get 30% off all cafeteria meals all the time without exception

The only other catch is the workweek will be 7 to 3 instead of 9 to 5, and on Saturdays you will have to work a half day once a month and will get compensated time-and-a-quarter for those Saturday hours.

Everything else stays same as now.
Would you on behalf of your company vote for or against the move under these circumstances?

Doesn't a unanimous vote mean everyone voted the same, not that everyone voted?

Apparently not in Florida.
