Motel Three Must Close Down!!!

The Zoning Board of Adjustment agreed with the neighbors in South Oak Cliff that the Motel Three (map) was a detriment to the community. The Board voted for the dump to be shut down; a date will be set at the next hearing on March 19th.

The owner tried to weasel out of it, but still thinks that prostitution is OK (link) and that the city is "picking on him." He blamed everyone but himself. The Board has hundreds of pages of crime reports that stated otherwise.

Yet another example of neighbors and churches working to take back their community!

This is so great to see. These places have got to know that just because they set up shop in an often overlooked neighborhood, its illegal and unwanted practices will not be overlooked by the citizens, officials and other people who care about this community. One by one, these places will learn that they must clean up their act or get out!
