Our California state government has left the lid off of the candy jar for all developers to come and develop with very little to no oversight. Because of the delays in approving the housing element, developers have been using the state law known as the “Builder’s Remedy” which allows them to bypass many local zoning rules and expedite housing projects.

So why was Dallas market so great? It was an eye opener for sure. The market is located in the World Trade Center in Dallas. It’s a family owned business which began in 1957. It houses gift, furniture, fine jewelry, temporary booths. Western, Kids/Baby, Shoes, Fast Fashion, and Fashion Showrooms. There wasn’t a lot if any lingerie, but that was ok… I’ve got New York and LA for that category.
