I think this story has both positive and negative implications for OKC. Since it was mentioned so prominently I thought I'd repost here:

Thanks for the link. I think the publicity for OKC is mostly negative, implying in effect that only natives would want to live here even if the rents are low. But never mind. We know what we have!

I agree with the article
"other words, Oklahoma City, despite its relative affordability and emerging downtown scene, is unlikely to become a hot spot for relocating New Yorkers and San Franciscans any time soon. With rents rising radically across the U.S., native residents of Oklahoma City, who make a median of $22,924 annually, are probably just fine with that. "

Yep, just fine with that. You can keep NYC and San Fran.
