Maybe you're talking about the sections within the sections that you say are restored to only be 1/8 the size of the city, but I'm venturing out to say the part of Dallas, South of downtown and a little east is far more than 1/8 of the city.
This is what they did to the WORST part of South Dallas.....

Bexar Street Corridor Re-development

It was completed 3-4 years ago...

Maybe that’s where the reference from “Dirty, Dirty Dallas” comes from.

When you’re trying to see how bad the hoods are in the city, Charlie Bo is the guy



A lot of the comments are saying Pleasant Grove is worse
