And we have attempted to find
scat sites in scattered locations
so that we would not concentrate any
units in any one place, but not my
neighborhood. According to these North
Dallas residents who pack tonight's
meeting, seven sites were considered
approved. Barstow Boulevard in southwest
Dallas, Denver, Glen Kelly, an extreme
north Dallas Akoko Street and northeast
Dallas, Connor Street in southeast
Dallas. And the conversion of this
apartment complex on Park Lane in
north Dallas.
The new housing will consist of 20 to
25 unit cluster homes.
The Department of Housing and Urban
Development must now approve the matter.
If HUD
approves the site, I'm going to talk to
the people and homeowners who nodded and
ask if we can somehow band together to
help the low income families,
or are they going to be
segregated in the schools.
All right. By the children.
All right.
Are they going to feel welcomed
out there? No, I don't think they will
be.
A koka street property is already in
jeopardy. City council candidate Al
Gonzales owns the land but now wants
to cancel the contract, which would make
him popular with Koka Street residents
but unpopular with the folks near
Military Parkway in southeast Dallas
who would then probably get the low
income housing slated for Akoko Street.
