Judy Meyer, the principal at Burnet Elementary promised that 50% of the portables would be removed once the overflow elementary was built at Walnut Hill and Webb Chapel in Northwest Dallas. Guess what? All the portables are still there two school years after the new elementary school was built. I lived on Dale Crest directly across from the portables. There was always break-ins and vandalism surrounding the portable shacks. I saw my property value decrease as a result of the portable shacks. I lived at my home for 21 years. I finally gave up on my neighborhood and moved to Carrollton in 2006.

[Ed Note: The first part of your post hit on a very good concept: did they do, with the money, what they said they would do last time? If not, why will this time be different?]
