Housing shortage: that is utter nonsense, no matter what they are saying in your quote. Ask people who LIVE here, like PKM. I live nearby, but have business in Norman frequently. Someone at the school paper is spinning...now the question is, WHY?
School paper never had an article about student housing shortage in Norman that I can find. My son asked one of the editors and they have never heard of it either.
Why would someone make that up?
