The question before Dallas is bigger than whether we save one building.

It is whether we are willing to make the decisions necessary to protect the future of our city.

After decades of deferred maintenance, continuing to pour taxpayer dollars into an outdated facility is not a long-term strategy. Dallas should be focused on creating greater public value, attracting investment, and building new momentum downtown.

Let’s save our city, not simply preserve the status quo.

Say Yes to Downtown.

Sam Tucker believes downtown Dallas deserves more than the status quo.

A stronger downtown takes long-term investment, bold thinking, and a willingness to create new energy in the heart of the city.

This is about building a downtown that attracts people, supports businesses, and creates opportunity for the next generation.

Say Yes to Downtown.

As a downtown and Farmers Market resident, Jose Avila sees both the progress downtown has made and how much more potential remains.

His message is simple: Dallas cannot stand still. We need to move forward, activate the City Hall site, and create a downtown that brings people together and works for everyone.

This is an opportunity to turn an underused part of the city into a source of activity, connection, and long-term investment.

Thank you, Jose, for speaking up for the future of your neighborhood.

Say Yes to Downtown.

Dallas City Hall has serious, expensive problems, from aging systems and asbestos to leaks, broken infrastructure, and recurring building failures.

The City is considering whether taxpayers should continue pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into making the existing building function, or use this moment to pursue a better long-term solution.

The next generation should not be handed an enormous bill to preserve a building many Dallas residents have never even entered.

This is the time to think bigger, invest wisely, and create greater value for the future of downtown and the entire city.

Say Yes to Downtown.

Adam Kraus is concerned about what happens if Dallas continues allowing investment, employers, and activity to move away from downtown.

For millennials and the generations that follow, this is also a taxpayer issue. Do we keep spending public dollars to preserve the status quo, or do we invest in catalytic change that creates lasting value for the heart of our city?

Downtown needs more people, more activity, and a bold plan for the future.

It's time to do something different.

Say Yes to Downtown.

Dallas faces a fundamental choice: continue spending heavily to repair the past, or think boldly about investing in the future.

The City Hall discussion is not simply about maintaining a building. It is about whether this major public site can create greater long-term value for taxpayers, strengthen downtown, and help unlock catalytic investment in the heart of our city.

Doing nothing is not free. Maintaining the status quo comes with real costs—and real missed opportunities.

Dallas should carefully consider what will serve our city best for the next generation.

Say Yes to Downtown.
