Yeah, just wait until those homeowners get divorced, are forced to sell and downsize and they want to keep their kids in the same schools..... and there's no apartment complex to move to. They'll wish they had options. Don't they realize they can turn into riff raff in the blink of an eye?

This is just a plan by, Dallas Developers, to move the poor, out of the inner city of Dallas, so they can build more higher- end habitats, to allure the "cool, hip, trendy gentrifiers". The only question is: how can/will these folks(the poor working ones) be able to commute, into the inner rings of the City, in order to serve the rich folk(who are now gritty urban pioneers)? Read the book, "The Ungodly City", for further insight, into what is really going down in the "City".

Good point. I'm from the Southside of Fort Worth (the part that is still pretty rough, not the gentrifying part) and I feel like I'm back home when I'm in that area.
