Watch as a Dallas News Network explains the issue in context. 

This video powerfully illustrates the real-world impact of gentrification in Dallas, particularly in historically Black and Latino neighborhoods. As redevelopment projects move in and property values rise, long-time residents are increasingly unable to afford the escalating costs of living. These changes are not just economic—they’re deeply social and cultural, uprooting families and weakening the sense of community that has existed for generations. The personal stories shared in the video highlight how city policies often favor developers over residents, accelerating displacement and deepening economic inequality. This aligns with our argument that gentrification, while often masked as progress, brings harmful consequences that disproportionately affect marginalized communities in Dallas.
