## Resource

Every time a contentious zoning case goes before the Dallas City Council, Dallas City Plan Commissioner Melissa Kingston has already seen it, likely heard from angry citizens about it, and voted on it. In this episode of Dallas Dirt, host April Towery sat down with Kingston to discuss ForwardDallas and give a look behind the scenes of how the City Plan Commission works. The episode, which was recorded in May, comes on the heels of many highly contentious neighborhood meetings, where factions have formed. Kingston shares her take on these pro-neighborhood and pro-housing parties that have been a vocal minority of voting Dallas homeowners, what city staff have done, and what some possible solutions are.
