Readers react to ... Apartments and live theater planned for former Bishop Arts medical building

“A high concentration of renters drags existing home values down. At the rate apartments are being built in Oak Cliff, our home values will soon start dropping. Ten years from now, our community will be full of run-down, cheaply constructed apartment ghettos. Some progress.”

LINDA BREWER

“OMG we don’t need anymore stinkin’ apartments!”

MAGGIE CASTILLO

“Because all the other new apartment complexes in Oak Cliff have soaring residency rates or something?”

TWIGGY KENSINGTON

“All these new apartments aren’t going to last long. Live theater? There’s the Kessler and Texas Theatre. So why do we need another one?”

LAQUILLA COLEMAN

“I was born there, and when I was a kid, had surgery there. At least it won’t be torn down like other buildings here in the neighborhood.”

JOE FLORES

“I wonder how haunted this old hospital could be. I’m down for it.”
