Your neighbors are really calling 311 about what?
Look— Dallas on the wire, big hat, bigger story. You folks have been *busy* with that 311 app, and the numbers from the last reporting period tell a pretty clear story about what’s on y’all's minds here in Dallas. What jumped out at me, clear as a summer day, is that "Code Concern - CCS" category. We're talking nearly 30,000 requests. To be exact, 29,916 calls. That’s not just a lot, that’s almost 30,000 times someone thought, "This ain't right, and someone needs to do something about it."
### What's Bugging Y'all
So, what exactly *is* a "Code Concern"? Well, think about everything from overgrown weeds in someone’s yard in Pleasant Grove, to a fence falling apart in Oak Cliff, or even illegal dumping that just piles up. It’s the little things that add up to big problems, making our neighborhoods feel less like home and more like a headache.
* **Code Concern - CCS**: 29,916 requests
* **Single Family Rental Needs Registration - CCS**: 1,326 requests
* **Consumer Protection Complaint - CCS**: 455 requests
The next biggest item, "Single Family Rental Needs Registration," came in at 1,326 requests. That’s significant, sure, but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the sheer volume of code concerns. It tells me that folks are really watching out for the basic upkeep of our city, street by street, block by block. It's not the big shiny projects like the Trinity River that are causing the most day-to-day friction, it's the basics. Keeping Dallas clean and orderly, that's what's got people reaching for their phones. We'll be watching to see how the city addresses this massive outpouring of resident concern.
