Readers react to … A two-bedroom costs $1,700 in Oak Cliff

“This is not right. They come into Oak Cliff neighborhoods then raise rent so high that people cannot afford it. They need to cater to people that have lived in Oak Cliff and longtime residents.”

PEARL MARTINEZ

“They aren’t looking for people from Oak Cliff to move into them. They are trying to lure the younger rich crowd that can afford this rent.”

REBECCA RANGEL CANTU

“Land prices and construction costs are very high now, so these are the rents that it takes to build anything new. If nothing new was built, then people would just bid up the rents even more.”

NATHANIEL BARRETT

“Bishop Arts is a desirable area. Dallas is a strong economy with lots of people moving here. Time won’t stand still. It used to be people complained about Oak Cliff being neglected and forgotten, and now it’s the complaint that people want to live here. You can’t win.”

LEO WATTS

“Tan locos.”
