Just out of curiosity here... Oklahoma City is known for low traffic and a low cost of living. That is a big selling point to people who are looking to move to the city for various reasons. I personally believe OKC has not hit it's high pace of growth and will hit an Austin type boom in the coming years that will make the previous boom something to laugh about.
But all of that aside, with the current growth rates or just your own personal intuition being if the city picks up growth or not, how much longer do you think low traffic and low cost of living is going to be prevalent in OKC? 5-10 years? 1-3 years?
I'm not too familiar with the rental rates though every once in awhile I will go to Zillow and check out home and rental prices and they seem to be on the uptick. I have also noticed traffic has drastically increased since 2012 even though it nothing compared to Los Angeles, it's still notable and is worse than St. Louis which is twice the size of OKC.
If I had to venture to guess, I'd say OKC has about 6-10 more years of enjoying these perks before they go away. Anyone else agree?
