I mean the Arts District (link):
But Cloepfil (ed. note: the architect of Booker T. Washington High School) says it might be misguided to expect Jane Jacobs-style urbanism to sprout in north Texas, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Dallas might have to accept the arts district as a successful destination, not a way of life. “I’m trying to be a realist to other urban types,” he says. “I do think there are other models of urban success that we may not want to believe are successful.”
“Other models of urban success,” huh? LOL. I guess anything can be a success depending upon what the goals are. If the goal is a vibrant place, it sure as he11 has not and will not achieve it on its current course. I can’t decide if he is being glib with the intended (or unintended?) backhanded compliment to Dallas or not…
