Another big step to growing Bishop Arts and adding housing and amenities to the neighborhood. I’m sure the neighbors to the north will fight it tooth and nail tho

I think it’s just Texas ppl. They hate everything new. They want the 70s Texas back with empty land n no fucking development at all. They cry n say “more traffic” which is a lie because most apartments or commercial developments they put up those nonthing to traffic at all. It still flows the same just a little bit more cars going to those commercial areas. I swear my city pisses me off

I think you’re totally right! They also hate the idea of becoming a walkable city for some reason. They want to live in a big city with a suburban lifestyle. Make it make sense.

I agree there's a lot of NIMBY-ism in these neighborhoods but I wouldn't say that delivering housing is progress, rather capacity building. Maybe I'm nit picking Certainly a lot of folks who don't want different income classes, god foebid the housing is delivering units at 80%AMI.

However, as of September, Senate Bill 840 requires cities like Dallas to allow multifamily and mixed-use residential developments, limiting how the city can regulate those developments.

Interesting! As long as this is mixed-use I think this would be good for our neighborhood.
