After we released the first video in our 4211 Newton explainer series, outlining the facts of the proposed 21-story tower and how the zoning process works. Today, we’re releasing Video 2 — “What We’re Working Toward.”

This short video explains SOHIP’s position clearly and directly:

  • Why MF-2 zoning exists
  • What MF-2 allows — and what it protects
  • How responsible development fits the scale of our neighborhood
  • Why a 240-foot tower in the middle of an MF-2 block is incompatible
  • What’s at stake for MF-2 neighborhoods across Dallas

Our stance is simple:

SOHIP welcomes development that follows MF-2 zoning and strengthens our neighborhood. But we are united in opposing projects that disregard it.Build responsibly — or build elsewhere.
