Our taxi ecosystem is atrocious on just about every dimension. So you had three real options: drive drunk, drive and not drink, or go through the annoyance of ordering taxis, in which case you usually picked one spot that you felt pretty good about spending the entire evening.
Can't speak for other cities, but I struggle to conceptualize a city whose night-life was more unlocked and enabled by ride-sharing than Dallas.

If this happens, it will definitely spice things up on Commerce, for sure. And, will put quite the crimp/cramp on parking availability for events at the Bomb Factory and Canton Hall.

Nah, that applies everywhere in Americas car dependant cities

I really wish that Deep Ellum will not cater to today's automobile demands. Ten years from now, we will be scratching our heads at the thought of all the garages we built ten years earlier.

(c) Maximum building heights. Maximum permitted heights for buildings are:
(1) 150 feet for buildings having an FAR for residential uses of 1.0 or more; and
(2) 130 feet for all other buildings.

Agreed. With that in mind, is it even worth it for developers to re-develop parking lots in Deep Ellum? We don't want a bunch of mid/high-rises to replace the surface parking, but if the development isn't all that big, does it make financial sense? I'm just wondering, because there are still a lot of surface lots in Deep Ellum, and I would like to see them converted into something else eventually.
