Rezoning issues

When we posted on the Lakewood/ East Dallas blog about Winston Capital’s submission for rezoning to build a 350-unit townhome or apartment community at the White Rock DART station, the majority of commenters, with varying levels of ire, expressed concern that our neighborhood already houses its fair share of apartments. %

HATE the idea because the White Rock area “already has too many apartments” %

THINK it’s a bad idea because of the flood plane, are concerned about the destruction to the creek and lake, or fear the increase of “unlicensed fishermen” %

THINK a DART station is a bad place for a multifamily development or doubt people will want to live near a DART station %

POINTOUT that living near DART actually is a perk, or that density and transit-oriented developments are the way of the future
