    i like that dallas is finally getting some more new big buildings after a few decades, but i hope the city also focuses more on improving their existing roads and making the city more walkable at the same time. we need more sidewalk construction and upgraded traffic lights and roads!

      most of those new “skyscrapers” that have been built recently are just apartment buildings that look almost exactly the same and just as any other apartment building in the country. the AMLI fountain place and these two new buildings are the real skyscrapers/additions to the skyline

      You have to incentivize growth. Say Dallas says no tax break so Goldman goes to Houston instead because they still offered tax break. So you lost the construction jobs, then the permanent staff of the building‘s jobs, then you lose the tax revenue from the business in the building property, taxes aswell and you still have and empty parking abandoned in eastern downtown. Where do you get that logic? This country is a free economy and Goldman has the right to go where ever they want to. A city cant force a company to build if they dont offer a good deal.

    Fix the homeless problem before we end up like San Francisco or Los Angeles. Invest in the broken down areas of Dallas. That takes priority over those new buildings. Invest in proper education of our youth to fill in Trade jobs in our metropolitan. This will set them up for successful careers. Especially in the lower income areas. We need to make sure we DO NOT end up like Chicago, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. Leadership has consequences.

      The City of Dallas doesn’t control schools. School districts in Texas are completely independent from the municipal government. That’s why they’re called “Independent School District”. They run themselves and they only answer to the state. That’s also why school districts don’t follow city boundaries. I think they’re 5 or 6 school districts that cover Dallas. Also the surrounding suburban cities are dumping their homeless in the City of Dallas. Dallas cannot afford to take care of the homeless of The Metroplex. They’re now trying to get suburban cities to help pay for it. Many suburban cities don’t even have shelters. The city said the majority of the homeless aren’t actually from Dallas.

It sounds like Communism, and even modern communism as China and Vietnam have don't ask private firms to do that as well. We have richest government system in the world, and every year they spend thousands of billions of dollars already, but nothing is solved.

      Downtown’s office buildings aren’t modern and that’s why they have a low occupancy. Developers are in the process of converting some of that obsolete office space into residential. Uptown in comparison is the 3rd most expensive office submarket in Texas. Only Austin is more expensive. That’s why Uptown has a demand for office space. Everything that’s been going up, has been filling up quickly.

    “Bring in more jobs”? What about the case with Walmart? They raised prices to pay their employees a higher wage. Now nobody wants to work. The only lines that are open is self checkout. Where’s the human help when we need it? Lines are backed up now. I politely told an employee there was a spill. She went to talk to 5 more ladies. My mom went and got paper towels and cleaned the mess herself. Nobody came to help. Not even the young men that passed by. Then we had issues with the checkout machine and the woman tried to ignore us so then another woman had to help us. What are they paying you for?

    This is not going to end well. Taxes will go up and we the people of Dallas will receive less services for the money we will be putting out. We have a severe homeless crisis and the streets are in horrible condition. This is not a winning situation for the people of Dallas. The only winners here are the corporation and the politicians who'll get richer off this deal, and we are going to have to pay for all this shit, not them!

    The office space in downtown Dallas has been over 25% vacant for the last 35 years. Why are they trying to add even more office space to that? The only thing worse than simply making things worse is spending millions of dollars in tax payer money making things worse.
