All the Dallas Mayor Candidates address common issues of the city like crime reduction and economic development during their election campaigns. The frequent incidents of robbery and killings in the city are a serious issue that is not being given the kind of exposure, attention and solution as required.

A drive through certain parts of the city can make one sick to the stomach. There are parts of Dallas that have no decent shopping centers. These areas are over-burdened with dollar stores, liquor stores and hole-in-the-wall grocery stores, but no real stores. The one Albertson’s at Hampton & Ledbetter is a piece of garbage, with overpriced goods and basic items like batteries under lock and key. This large corporate version of a rip-off bodega treats the customers like criminals and get away with it.

According to the information provided by a commercial broker, there are more Family Dollar stores coming to the Southern sector. They are now being built in advance and being sold to the highest bidder upon completion. A lot of these stores are taking up good retail space on the best corners and the community will be most likely to be stuck with them for the next 20-25 years.

Dallas mayor candidates like Darrell Jordan address such grave issues with in-depth knowledge of the problem and suggests solutions for the issues too.
