Opportunity Not Taken 2 rating By Anonymous ( Feb 19, 2022) Oxford is in a good strategic position roughly halfway between Atlanta and Birmingham. This fact could make it really great if the city planners would formulate and execute a plan to actually make it livable by modern standards. Infrastructure (i.e. better sidewalks and segregate ...Read More d bike lanes, etc...) should be implemented, wasteful parking lots and dead businesses (i.e. Quintard Mall) should be raised and it's space better used for the public good such as medium density multi-use construction and green spaces. You literally cannot go anywhere or do anything in Oxford without a car and the ugliness of its streets and buildings are unfortunate. These factors, among many others, make it less than mediocre on a livability scale. Planners, have a vision and get Oxford out of the 60s. It could be beautiful as well as economically favorable.
