It’s no secret that poverty is a big problem in Oklahoma. Low-income neighborhoods gain reputations as “bad” parts of town because of gang violence and resulting disrepair. This reputation becomes a self-perpetuating truth because no one does anything to change it.

This week, Carless in OKC looks at how to break the cycle.

What does it take to live without a car in OKC?  The Tankards are trying to find out. You can read all about their experiences at carlessinokc.blogspot.com.

John and Elizabeth Tankard moved to OKC from Athens, Georgia in 2013. John is a city planner and Elizabeth is an administrative assistant.
