kerryrivera+FollowWhat most people get wrong about traffickingHuman trafficking isn’t just a movie plot or something that happens far away—it’s happening right here in Dallas, often to the most vulnerable kids in our own foster care system. Chad Frymire, a neighbor and advocate, learned this the hardest way after his own sister was exploited. He says traffickers usually use manipulation and emotional abuse, not violence, and target kids who are already struggling. It’s not just about sex trafficking, either—labor trafficking is a huge issue too. What do you think our community can do to better protect vulnerable kids and support survivors? #Safety #Dallas #HumanTrafficking00Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowDowntown Dallas office shakeup: What’s next?Downtown Dallas now has the second-highest office vacancy rate in the country, just behind Seattle. That’s a huge shift for the city’s core, and it’s changing the way businesses and developers think about office space. While some towers are selling for a fraction of their former prices, others are getting snapped up for record amounts. The trend toward high-end, amenity-rich offices is clear, and adaptive reuse is giving new life to old buildings. Suburbs and neighborhoods like Uptown are thriving as companies rethink where—and how—they work. How do you see these changes affecting Dallas in the long run? #RealEstate #Dallas #OfficeMarket00Share
davenportmeghan+FollowHow Dallas and Austin stack up for homebuyersStretching your real estate dollar in Texas looks very different depending on whether you’re eyeing Dallas or Austin in 2026. Dallas buyers get more space for their money—about 300 extra square feet on a $500k budget compared to Austin. But that bigger house comes with higher property taxes. Dallas also has more homes on the market, making it less of a battle to buy. Meanwhile, Austin’s lower inventory keeps prices high, but the city’s booming tech scene and culture still draw plenty of folks. Which would you pick: more space and choice in Dallas, or Austin’s vibe and slightly lower taxes? #RealEstate #Austin #Dallas00Share
