With homeless, Dallas usually gets what we intend...
I live in the neighborhood where this plan was proposed. I voted in favor of it, but of course I was in the minority. I thought the project had a good plan, but was concerned about the management company perhaps not being held accountable and the 92% occupancy needed to make the building break even. But even with those I was willing to take the risk because I realize the need for this type of housing. I hope the City approves this in spite of the Housing Committee vote, otherwise we get to add another shuttered, empty, decrepit building in our neighborhood.

UPDATED: Swirll Winery in downtown Dallas closing on December 20
I think their concept isn't right for downtown right now. They needed to go the wine bar direction, with by the glass wines. I love wine, but I would never purchase an entire barrel at once. I like to switch things up - something that wasn't really available with their concept.

Building a community: The Cedars, Dallas
New residents did not move into the area and request businesses be moved out. City Council decided in 2002 that these businesses should be zoned out. Most residents who signed affidavits against the proposal only bought property here within the last 2 years, understanding that City Council had already made the decision on these businesses. Today City Council decided to change their minds. And their decision was the opposite of what the majority of the affected residents asked for.



Gourmet Spud Stop serving potatoes in Plano
Can't imagine it lasting too long in that location. Or selling a spud for $13. The Chicago-dog place died over there not long ago.
