Again, No Housing Available In the Bakken Oil Patch -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

The Dickinson Press link here.

This can't be said too many times: don't come to western North Dakota without having a place to stay lined up before you get here.

There is "no" room at the inn.

The town does not have a homeless shelter.

If rooms are available at a local motel -- and there is some slack in that arena -- some rooms becoming available that we haven't seen in the recent past -- the rates are generally $189/night and as high as $250/night  in some motels, particularly those that have suites.
