Your input is needed at the public meetings for the City of Dallas regarding Chapter 27 Ordinance. Attend a meeting on one of the dates listed below! ATTEND A MEETING
In preparation to update the Dallas City Council on the implementation of amendments to Chapter 27 - Minimum Property Standards, including the Single Family Rental Registration and Inspection Program, city staff will conduct community meetings to gather feedback from stakeholders.
Anticipated participants include property owners, property management companies, tenants, industry associations, and anyone else who wishes to express their views.
This feedback will be presented to Council as part of the general update on Chapter 27.
The schedule for these meetings is as follows:
* Thursday, August 23, 6-9pm, Nash-Davis Recreation Center, 3710 N. Hampton (West Dallas)
* Monday, August 27, 6-9pm, Harry Stone Recreation Center, 2401 Millmar ((East Dallas)
* Tuesday, August 28, 6-9pm, Pleasant Oaks Recreation Center, 8700 Greenmound (Pleasant Grove)
* Thursday, August 30, 12-2pm, City Hall, Room L1EN/Room D
New rules include requiring:
* Mandates to require 10% of apartments to be set aside for low housing if there is any tax abatement * Inspection rules as strict or stricter than Section 8 * Landlords to accept VA housing vouchers
If this passes, there is already a push to ban income discrimination - that you MUST join Section 8 and accept Section 8 housing vouchers.
I would love to see some fed up, independently wealthy person or group of people start buying up mansions in high income areas with the wherewithal to turn them into multiple family dwellingd, complete with bus stops out front. A 12,000 square foot house can easily hold 6-8 families.
There goes the neighborhood ...
Yes - next to a Democrat congressman
They really want to dry up the availability of rental housing. Landlords will sell off apartments as condos and invest elsewhere. Section 8 rentalsget trashed.
China is buying.
I like how you think.
A great article I just read last night because of E Pluribus Unum.
American Murder Mystery - Why is crime rising in so many American cities? The answer implicates one of the most celebrated antipoverty programs of recent decades. (Section 8)

Fascinating article. Though the author does have a very large blind spot/bias which is exemplified by her lack of use of the word “won’t”. It’s always residents can’t do this or that. But the author never says residents won’t. Which I’m betting is, more often than not, really the case.
I’ve posted a similar idea, but the target would be the neighborhoods of Politicians who support illegal immigration, not just rich neighborhoods.
Wherever you see the word “stakeholders” being used there is Socialist skullduggery afoot.
One of the common issues I’ve seen with the terminology is by bringing in liberal NGOs in mass to events as “stakeholders”. They don’t live there, but they’re showing up as representatives for various “groups”. They intentionally crowd out locals in city council meetings, they deliberately hog the microphone at events, and the liberal officials say, “Yes, we heard you, we’re doing what the liberals saying they represent the people want.”
I’ve been at council meetings and public hearings where half of those present were conservative, sometimes Tea Party, and the mic was deliberately passed over to these self-appointed elites.
Rephrase - the supposedly neutral officiators gave the mic to the head of a group who wanted to raise taxes for a library modification while ignoring others, giving the mike to members of the social justice movement, and maybe one or two conservatives were allowed to speak out of many “voices” being heard.
