Re: Dallas Convention Center
This deck park is NOT what was promised (or at the very least implied). The idea was to have Community Usable space and provide integration to the Cedars through the Deck Park. This Deck Park is nothing but a small lawn for Convention Goers. This is neither practical or beneficial for the community.

Dallas feels safe to me. But I will say Dallas has to do better enforcing loitering. Especially near the Library. Why would they just allow the homeless to congregate there. How does that promote usage of the library to begin with? Insane.
