"[W]e stepped out onto the plaza and the whole vision unfolded: a public gathering space for โ€œwe the people.โ€

Here's what Dallas residents have to say about their City Hall

Ahead of a Dallas City Council vote on the direction of City Hall, residents are speaking up about their opinions over the future of the building.

"The rush to make a decision includes lots of opportunity for oversights, miscalculations. I've seen nothing that says what the truly allocated cost of relocating a city hall to another building would be."

People Who Donโ€™t Understand Downtowns Are Destroying Downtowns ๐Ÿ™๏ธ

A far-fetched plan to demolish Dallasโ€™s seat of government is threatening the cityโ€™s role in the region.

Dallas City Hall might ultimately be razed for a casinoโ€”a perfect symbol for our era of civic impoverishment and gambling addiction.
