Those who live in Dallas's greater Casa Linda region understand patience. Patience is waiting years and years and years for revitalization. Sure, a few areas have improved or maintained stability. However, despite the region's "good bones," the near term future is anything but clear.

Now this region may have a way out: a 10 story luxury condo high rise proposed to replace a dilapidated medical complex off Emerald Isle Drive. This could kickstart the long-anticipated wider scale revitalization, making the greater Casa Linda area Dallas's next Park Cities in short order.

The biggest obstacle is a fierce opposition. The funny thing is that this opposition has many of its facts dead wrong.

Instead of tolerating continued stagnation, I have punged into activism and created Support the Emerald Isle Development [1]. If you just want to get to the meat of the site, skip directly to the Distortions and Half Truths [2] page.
