Your neighbors are calling Dallas 311 about what now?

Look— Dallas on the wire, big hat, bigger story. Y'all know the 311 service line is where we go when we got a pothole bigger than a steer or a streetlight that's been out longer than a Cowboys playoff run. But the latest numbers from the city's service requests? They're tellin' a story all their own, and it's mostly about folks keepin' an eye on their neighbors.

According to the latest data, "Code Concern - CCS" is blowin' everything else out of the water with a whopping 29,408 requests. Almost thirty *thousand* times folks picked up the phone to report something, well, "code-y." That's everything from overgrown weeds to unpermitted construction, and it just shows you how much Dallas residents are lookin' out for their blocks—or maybe just lookin' at their neighbors with a little side-eye.

Then you got "Single Family Rental Needs Registration - CCS" comin' in second, but way, way down at 1,296 requests. Still, it tells you that the city’s push to regulate short-term rentals, especially after some of those rowdy parties, is on people's minds. It’s a far cry from the code concerns, but it's a peek into how fast our neighborhoods are changin'.

What this all means is that folks are engaged. They’re using the system to report what they see. The question now is: what's City Hall gonna *do* with all these thousands of eyes and ears on the ground? Dallas is gettin' bigger, and it seems our neighbors are watchin' closer than ever.

Dallas on the wire — big hat, bigger story.
