I wanted to have a place to put all of the information coming out about the mass evictions that are eminent in West Dallas. I will update this blog as more articles and information come out. You can also facebook follow the two organizations at the bottom of this blog to stay in the loop yourself.
The intent behind this is for you to get educated and come to your own conclusions about the motivations of the various players.
