Two weeks until our Dallas Trivia Night at Four Corners Brewery. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/dalla... To get you ready, we are posting one trivia question (and answer) everyday until then. Question 1: Where does the name for the city of "Dallas" come from?

Dallas Zoning Reform is in the early stages. The best place to learn more is to go to www.dallaszoningreform.com. The best thing you can do right now is to leave a comment (click the box in the top right) that makes clear you believe Dallas will benefit from allowing more housing!

Your chance to flex your Dallas knowledge and have some fun doing so is September 24th! RSVP here ( actionnetwork.org/events/dalla... )to reserve your spot and invite your friends and family. Trivia will be free, and we will have limited free food available as well. #dallasevents #dallas

ACTION ITEM: Sign the petition to ban Realpage and other rent-setting algorithmic software in the city of Dallas: actionnetwork.org/petitions/lo... Dallas can follow the lead of 10 other US cities and ensure that landlords are competing, not colluding.

ICYMI: In a win for housing, the group suing to stop the approved Pepper Square Rezoning has given up their suit. www.dallasobserver.com/news/neighbo... Finally, nearly three years after first being proposed, the rezoning has cleared all legal and zoning hurdles.

Dallas history trivia? Bold coming from a group trampling our ancestral parking lots. Surface parking is our cultural heritage, but YIMBYs want to bury it under mixed-use retail and critically needed housing. If Orwell were alive, he'd be spinning in his car looking for somewhere to park— forever.

Think you know Dallas better than anyone? Join us for a special Dallas Trivia Night on September 24th at Four Corners Brewery! actionnetwork.org/events/dalla... Whether it's Dallas history, neighborhoods, politics, or otherwise, this is the chance to flex your knowledge.

Greystar, the nation's largest landlord, agreed to stop using Realpage, the algorithmic software being sued for price-setting. The settlement is significant as the DOJ continues investigating whether Realpage allowed corporate landlords to collude. www.propublica.org/article/grey...

Join us for this discussion on 8/12! Please RSVP at bit.ly/zoningkey

It's always interesting to see which US cities are implementing upzonings to allow for more housing. Two of the boldest reforms have come from Cambridge, MA (www.bloomberg.com/news/article...) and Berkeley, CA (berkeleyca.gov/construction...).

Join us for happy hour on 7/31 at 6p! At four corners brewing on South Ervay street in Dallas. RSVP here www.eventbrite.com/e/89th-legis...

Really good read in the Dallas Observer from Emma Ruby about Paul Carden's planned housing in East Oak Cliff: www.dallasobserver.com/news/gentrif... READ IT!

Nothing will turn you into a YIMBY faster than going to a community meeting for the most innocuous proposal for new housing in a wealthy area of your city. It's worth reading the full article by Robert Wilonsky in the DMN: www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm...

Dallas, zoning and code reform is coming. The first round of public meetings is finishing next week. Make sure to get out to a meeting! Learn more here: www.dallaszoningreform.com

Dallas, early voting for the runoffs in District 8 and 11 is now open! Every vote matters in the runoffs. Dallas Neighbors for Housing hasn't endorsed in either race, but we do want to be clear NOT to vote for Bill Roth in District 11. dallasneighborsforhousing.blogspot.com/2025/05/dist...

The Census released their 2024 population growth report, and Dallas grew 23,000 by residents. dallas.culturemap.com/news/city-li... The growth comes in the context of slow annual growth in the city over the past 24 years. DFW as a region has grown 5 times faster than the city since 2000.

Parking reform (bit.ly/DallasParkin...) passed in Dallas City Council yesterday evening with an overwhelming vote of 14-1! While this is not the complete removal of parking minimums we hoped for, it is a monumental step toward building a walkable, vibrant city with abundant housing for all.

Dallas, parking reform is having a public hearing at City Council on Wednesday! We expect public speakers to start at about 2 PM, though it could be later than that. Register to speak either virtually or in-person at personalfinance.dallascityhall.com/speakers.aspx

It is so critical to protect DART at this time. Please take a minute to send a letter to your Representatives.

House Bill 3187 has been voted out of committee. This bill will ultimately lead to the end of DART. Their capital plan will get axed, because even though their budget is cut by 25% their debt service isn't.

Congrats to our endorsed candidates (Gay Donnell Willis, Adam Bazaldua, Jaime Resendez, Maxie Johnson, and Chad West) on their election wins Saturday! Five of our six endorsed candidates won, a clear message that Dallas voters want more affordable and abundant housing.

Election day! Get out and vote at any voting location before 7 PM today. Find your nearest location at dallascountyvotes.org

The White House is looking to either deeply cut or eliminate Housing Vouchers, which could plunge hundreds of thousands of Americans into homelessness. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u... *Note that the headline undersells the changes. This isn't an overhaul. It's a proposal for massive budget cuts.

Some good news, some bad news for housing at the Texas legislature. First the bad news: The Texas Senate passed their version of the anti-tenant bill that would strip away due process and make evictions easier. The House voted their version out of committee this week as well.
