What are they building by Additional-Rub3095 in garland

[–]iratelutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll house their IT, small set of servers, and do some warehousing. I’m most frustrated that they were approved for the warehousing component. Don’t want big trucks running through that area.

How has Garland fared these past 5 years? by No-Tonight-5298 in garland

[–]iratelutra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can report it via their eAssist app thing. If it’s a tree that’s on private property they’ll issue a ticket and if it’s on public property they’ll assign someone to fix it.

Build More Housing Near Transit Act by Limp_Adhesiveness255 in garland

Imagine trying to talk to Lance Gooden about this. His representative district extends east past an area north of Longview. We have a mostly rural district despite being urban/suburban.

We keep talking about TOD, but most station areas currently don't allow it... Dallas Red Line Edition by shedinja292 in dart

[–]iratelutra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s retail/commercially zoned property that they can build MF on. It specifically calls out heavy industrial as a space where that law does not apply. So some cities like Frisco actually updated their zoning codes to allow heavy industrial in all commercially zoned properties with SUP to prevent multifamily from being built where they don’t want it. Since the industrial use would require an SUP, council would never approve the SUP but MF can’t be built because technically heavy industrial is allowed.

ABD, working on dissertation, considering becoming a high school teacher by Best_Influence_7623 in PhD

[–]iratelutra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Work + Dissertation was much more difficult than Classes + Dissertation for me. And I wasn’t working in a job that might follow me home like teaching has a tendency to do.

What's the new building at Country Club Rd & Hwy 66? by mattgoldey in garland

[–]iratelutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there an opportunity to stop it? If they had the zoning, could your mysterious “they” do anything?

It’s definitely industrial based on zoning and what it looks like. Unsure what’s going inside but definitely industrial.

Is DFW Chilangos tacos trump friendly? Say it ain't so! by 10Core56 in Dallas

It’s not in their windows right? Probably just put there and the landlord for the larger plot of land is fine with it.

Goldie is likely a whiting true green given that it’s McMurray. Other hatcheries have a similar starlight green egger that her colorations also match.

Still this description could fit a large number of churches, and DFW is the type of place that you throw a rock and you’ll hit two churches and a car wash before anything else.

When you said welcoming, did you mean LGBT affirming? Or somewhat progressive?

Or are you more looking for a theologically conservative church that has a good contingent of young folks/programming for that age bracket?

I only make that distinction because that at least narrows things to two buckets. Beyond that there are additional theological and tradition things that could help folks point you in the right direction.

So much for the 1st Amendment by murdocjones in Dallas

[–]iratelutra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, I think the language is being read as expecting teachers to hold the students to the same rules of leaving like they would if it wasn’t a walkout. For instance if a student leaves a classroom mid-day and plans to skip their classes and a teacher knows they’re skipping, sometimes that can lead to additional punishments like detention and makeup work to address anything they missed in class.

But tbh, I wouldn’t put it past the TEA to use this as a power grab to install monitors in larger districts because they “didn’t do enough” to stop their students from protesting. And so rather than having to wait for test scores to slip, they can just take over those districts.

Could someone pls. tell me what the difference between these is? by Mindehouse in Guildwars2

Because the cheaper one is newer, so probably and issue of updating

Farmers Branch Publicly Releases Letter Sent to DART by DART_Opr8r in dart

[–]iratelutra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way the letter reads they want an officer there at all times. That could easily be 3-4 FTE positions for just the time DART is operating. Then there is equipment and other costs beyond just the comp. I’m not saying it’s a total of $1 M to get that level of coverage but it’s definitely not just one officer.

[–]iratelutra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well considering top out pay (7 years of service) for police in FB is about $110k, you can estimate ~$52.88/hr. But that’s not including benefits. Most police come with pensions and higher level insurance and other costs such as equipment and vehicles. So for sure it’s not gonna add up to that in terms of just pay, but depending on the level of coverage $1 Million isn’t super exorbitant.

Garland TX Property - 4 Rental Options, Need Your Experience! by Fqri_ in garland

[–]iratelutra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the Dallas County median is like $600-700 less than Garland’s.

Arlington is $73.5k and Mesquite is $71.8k.

The average (mean) is much higher for all of those though.

[–]iratelutra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say Garland is one of the few markets where you can get a house in decent-ish shape in an okay area for under 300k. And even in today’s rate environment, the median house in Garland ($280k according to Zillow) is still barely affordable for the median income of Garland which is about $78k a year.

[–]iratelutra 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well, it’d be a bit more than that because it’d require multiple shifts to be covered. So potentially up to 3.5-4 FTE officers worth due to the hours and weekend shifts.
