Data center bans have been challenged, but Dallas wants more control (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Political divisiveness may be the post-COVID status quo, but one issue has emerged this year as the unexpected ideological bridge that brings us all together. A majority of Texans do not like data centers, according to polling released this summer by the University of Texas/Texas Politics Project. The Lone Star State is expected to take over as the top market for data center projects, but 56% of those surveyed said they would oppose the construction of a data center in their community, with disa
Le Sol lives on: City council approves experimental recreation club in Oak Cliff (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How would you feel if suddenly one day, two homes on your street transformed into a mecca for the neighborhood’s most meditation-minded, the hipsters, the edgy entrepreneurs?

Read excerpt
For months, City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert has warned Dallas that a rocky budget season was on the brink. Here we stand now, on the edge, and it is rocky indeed. On Friday evening, the city of Dallas released the first draft of what is set to be the biggest budget in this city’s history. Some 760 pages outline the $5.66 billion-with-a-B plan for Dallas, and the draft will be briefed at the City Council on Tuesday.
