What investment is occurring requires much higher returns to offset the risks <br />apparent in the neighborhood. <br />Our findings here in Dallas aze reinforced by the numerous studies done in other localities, all <br />showing higher crime in areas where SOBs are concentrated (especially sex crimes). The <br />general negative feelings towazds these azeas and avoidance of the azea by those who live in the <br />surrounding community, both in our study and those from around the country, show how the <br />public perceives such azeas. This is reinforced by numerous newspaper articles on the subject, <br />both in Dallas and the other localities and national press. The presence of the SOBs in the Dallas <br />Study Area has resulted in a general disinvestment in the surrounding properties. <br />PM/kn <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />THE MALTN GROUP <br />Peter Malin, MAI <br />Managing Director <br />Q6/12/97 15:30 TX/RX N0.5591 P.
