South BA has some of the highest concentrations of new apartment construction in the state right now with several thousand units under construction.
Not exactly, its the West side of Norman who has the Nimby's. I used to live in Norman before I moved to Moore, so I know the facts. Furthermore, the northside of Norman anchored by Tecumseh Rd corridor and Flood is growing tremendously. Also there is retail boom in University North Park, also slated for more apartments and housing.

Not saying BA will never surpass Norman, but it wont be for awhile.
