"The world is watching what happens. The demolition of City Hall would be the most significant destruction of an American public building since New York’s Pennsylvania Station was torn down in the 1960s. It would be an act of philistinism with dire financial, environmental and historic consequences."
"Stop the madness."

Downtown Dallas is not dying, despite Mavs, Stars departures 🌇
Reckless plan to abandon City Hall would be a disaster.
With a glut of vacant office space already, the idea of creating even more by abandoning City Hall makes no sense.
Until Dallas builds for people, & not for cars, downtown will forever be troubled. Make downtown an appealing environment, & people & business will follow.

No wonder the mayor was so desperate to join the GOP ranks. His stripes are of the same corrupt type.
Dallas mayor grows staff while city looks for budget cuts

Save Dallas City Hall | Dallas, TX
STOP THE DIRTY DEAL AT DALLAS CITY HALL.
Put Dallas Before Developers
The push to abandon Dallas City Hall looks less like good government and more like a dirty deal for developers, built on bogus numbers and paid for by taxpayers. The time to act is now.
This is about more than one building. It is about whether leaders will serve the public interest or sell it out.
