They finally fixed the dirt and muddy roads that they had to endure for years, now they're coming through with gentrification and running the natives out with higher taxes and eminent domains. God bless the people of Dallas, they've done a number on the city🙏🏽🙏🏽

Now that the roads are paved they are tearing down the houses for high rises.

Sad that West Dallas was treated like a red-headed stepchild for so many years even after it was annexed.
