You have seen the boom towns. I remember going through Gillette, WY in ‘73 and then going back up in ‘78 to build two new schools. A spot to hook up your trailer and connect to sewer was $650 plus utility charges. Renting a house or apartment was impossible.

In 2011, I bid some B-52 hangers up in ND and tried to price in housing for field management and others. Impossible, there was none to be had except double the price. A 1959 house was the price of a new home 50% larger in Dallas. Apartments were clapboard. People were going up there and finding out you couldn’t live on the fringe with the winters that they have in North Dakota.

The only problem with living and working in North Dakota is that you have to live and work in North Dakota.
