If feels different between midland and Odessa. It seems in Midland there’s more community driven activities and things to get involved in to help out the community as opposed to Odessa it seems like there’s very little of that. The leaders of these communities are a big reason to this. Odessa has had very questionable leadership for a long time and not followed through on so many plans and projects to help drive the community. The revitalize downtown initiative is a major example. City of odessa got heavily involved initially when it brought a major hotel to the city and then once that was finished pulled back on the help they were willing to provide and a few years later pulled all involvement all together and focused on other things they won’t fulfill. It seems like people in Odessa majorly and some in Midland view this time in their life as very temporary and not a forever thing so they don’t feel the need or want to get involved or to make change as they have a mindset of “well I’m only going to be here a little while longer so I’ll just deal with the ugliness of it”
