Dallas, you will not believe what's happening
Look— Dallas on the wire — big hat, bigger story. Y’all, our 311 service request numbers just dropped, and there’s one that's making my phone ring off the hook.
I’m talking about "Code Concern - CCS." Over thirty thousand requests. To be exact, 30,408 of you hit up the city about code violations. That's not just a lot of complaints; that's almost every single other request combined, like *quintupled*. We're talking everything from overgrown lots to busted fences, right? It tells me people are looking around their neighborhoods, maybe on Greenville Avenue or down in Pleasant Grove, and they’re not liking what they see. It means folks are using the system, which is good, but it also screams that we've got some real issues with upkeep across the board.
Then, there's the "Single Family Rental Needs Registration - CCS" with 1,342 requests. This is a big one for neighborhoods, especially with all the discussions around short-term rentals in places like the Bishop Arts District. It shows residents are trying to keep tabs on who’s owning what, and how it’s affecting the fabric of their streets. It’s about preserving that local feel.
The fact that these two are so high? It says y'all are really paying attention to what’s happening right outside your front door. Next, we need to see how fast these issues are actually getting resolved.
Dallas on the wire — big hat, bigger story. The morning crew is fixin' to dig into this even deeper, hear it all live at mornings.live.
