“The Dallas Convention Center remains underutilized due in part to the lack of an adjacent hotel which remains as a requirement high on the priority list of today’s convention meeting planners,” said Rod Clough, MAI, Managing Director of HVS Dallas. “If the convention center headquarters hotel is not realized, the rebirth of the downtown Dallas landscape will be short-lived.”

I am confused by Michael Davis' posts. Sometimes I hear about how neighborhoods are held hostage by crime, sagging pants and buildings that need to be knocked over. Then I hear that it's all a matter of perception and the crime is really no big deal.

There is some great development going on a Westmoreland and Illinois. Wynnewood is also getting some new retailers. This proves that Southern Dallas is capable of supporting new development. Perhaps if the Souther Dallas council members were as interested in getting new development as they are about getting a toll road built in a floodway, then we would see more development.
