The city of Dallas is working to update its comprehensive plan for the first time in 18 years. The plan is called "Forward Dallas" and includes a provision that would allow multiplexes to be built on single-family lots. There are some homeowners who aren't happy about it.The meeting Thursday evening was filled with two hours of comments from fired-up residents. The majority urged the city to not allow multiplexes in single-family neighborhoods.
"I can't afford to live in this city," one resident said. "My buying power is less than when I moved here.""My family was priced out of a Dallas zip code a generation ago," another resident said. "They had to move to McKinney."But others questioned if smaller attached homes would actually be affordable or simply create more expensive luxury houses.
