During a meeting of the Dallas City Council Qulaity of Life Committe the committee heard from a group from the University of Texas at Arlington grad students on how better to organize neighborhoods. There were suggestions on forming neighborhood watch committees and so forth.

They even had an example: They had practised on the Skyline Heights neighborhood recently. At one point, they had held a "Home Repair Workshop" for the neighborhood. How nice that these kindly UTA grad students would take the time to instruct a neighborhood on the finer points of fixing leaky faucets, repairing loose shingles, and so forth?  Alas, the student went on to explain what she meant by "Home Repair Workshop": Instructing the residents on how to apply for grants from their municipal government to pay for home repairs.
