“It does feel like a slap in the face for homebuilders and everybody in the city,” Crone said. “Dallas is already a competitive disadvantage both from the cost standpoint and just from the suburban shift we’ve seen since the pandemic came on. The city needs to be thinking about policies that bring families back in instead of pushing them back out.”
Lee Kleinman is about to complete eight years as a Dallas City Council Member watching transportation issues.
“The reality of it is, when you build an apartment complex or an office tower or something like that, you are bringing more traffic into a neighborhood,” Kleinman said. “These impact fees help offset some of that.”

Removal of shingle mountain in Dallas now underway
By FOX 4 Staff
DALLAS - Crews have finally begun the process to remove the eyesore in Dallas known as shingle mountain.
The massive pile of shingles is in southeast Oak Cliff, near Interstate 20 and Interstate 45.
The city has been fighting a recycling company in court to stop them from dumping the waste at the location.
City Councilman Tennell Atkins said the court entered a judgment that allows a city contractor to remove the shingles.
Atkins said the removal process marks a new era in southern Dallas. We are nearly at the end of a two year journey, involving the tireless work of the City’s legal team and various City departments. We are hopeful this process will alleviate concerns from surrounding community members and emphasizes the City’s commitment to a clean environment, he said in a statement.
