The high costs driving others out is a result of high demand to live there that has existed for many decades now. High rates of business growth and population growth leads to higher demand and higher costs. Low population and gdp growth in Oklahoma has created chronically low prices. Financial osmosis will cause moves from expensive and crowded to cheap and spacious as long as enough job growth can support it.
