Your neighbors are really mad about something

Look—Dallas on the wire, big hat, bigger story. You know how sometimes you just *feel* like everyone around you is complaining about the same thing? Well, the 311 service request numbers from the city are out, and folks, it's not just a feeling. Code compliance is far and away the biggest concern on y'all’s minds. We’re talking nearly 30,000 requests for "Code Concern - CCS."

To put that in perspective, that’s almost 30,000 calls about everything from overgrown weeds in someone’s yard in Pleasant Grove to a dilapidated fence in Oak Cliff, or even illegal dumping down near the Trinity River bottoms. That number just dwarfs everything else. The next highest? "Single Family Rental Needs Registration - CCS" with 1,326 requests. I mean, that's still a lot of calls, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to code issues.

### What’s Bugging Dallas?

It really makes you wonder what’s driving all those code complaints. Is it just the usual neighborly squabbles, or is it pointing to something bigger about how our neighborhoods are being maintained across the city?

* **Code Concern - CCS:** 29,919 requests

* **Single Family Rental Needs Registration - CCS:** 1,326 requests

* **Consumer Protection Complaint - CCS:** 455 requests

What this tells me is that Dallasites are paying attention to their streets, their blocks, and what's happening right next door. These aren't abstract policy debates; these are "my quality of life" issues. It's the kind of stuff that makes you feel like your city is, or isn't, looking out for you. We need to see how City Hall plans to address this tidal wave of concerns.
