There Goes The Neighborhood--Again.



From the Dallas Morning News: 

Just like his father, President George W. Bush will return to Texas when he leaves office.

And just like his father, he wants a gate to be installed along a public street to limit access to his neighborhood.

Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm confirmed Monday that the younger Bush is seeking to have a gate placed somewhere along the entrance to streets leading to his future Preston Hollow address.

The plan, which requires approval by the Dallas City Council, isn't expected to encounter much opposition at City Hall, and the Bushes' neighbors seem to be on board.

So far, several options to limit access to the Bushes' new street have been discussed. But a final decision on exactly where to place the gate hasn't been recommended, Suhm said.

Federal money would pay for the gate, not the city, she said. It's unclear how residents would use the gate to get to their homes.

Wherever the gate goes, public access to Daria Place – the high-end street where the Bushes' 8,500-square-foot ranch home – will soon be a thing of the past.

What? Did Crawford throw 'em out?

There's a website that lists sex criminals according to the neighborhoods in which they live. Do we need one now for war criminals, too?
