Dallas Neighborhood Battles: NSO On Desco Drive?

It exhausts me keeping up with the neighborhood wars in this town — the conservation district battle in the Disney Streets, and now Desco Drive wants to do conservation light: the Neighborhood Stabilization Overlay.

As someone who works mostly with Builders, this just sucks! Not to mention it could hurt people who are thinking of selling their older homes to a builder

I have ZERO compassion for the builders. If this NSO passes, I’ll be doing a “happy dance”.

NSO has worked very well in Cochran Heights, off Henderson – an enclave of Dilbeck ’storybook’ homes which were starting to be replaced by three-story (that does not include the roof)jobs – some with elevators.

Alex, would you really want one of those next to your home?

well, we dont have the 3-story problem over here in Preston Hollow, unless you count the few homes with a basement..that being said, these builders that most dislike, provide jobs for hundreds of people, help improve property values, and keep the agents (many of which live in the neighborhood) busy.

I agree, to some extent the character of the neighborhood should be respected, but there has to be balance on both sides of the problem.
