Description
SMITH, Circuit Judge. A local public housing agency agreed to demolish certain vacant and uninhabitable units of Dallas public housing in compliance with a consent decree entered by the parties to cure racial housing segregation within the city. The planned demolitions have been stalled indefinitely, however, as a consequence of financing problems. Specifically, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced a reduction in the subsidization of vacant units to a level that the local agency claims undermines its efforts to raze the condemned structures. The local public housing agency maintains that both its adherence to the demolition schedule and the consent decree have been thwarted as a result. Sadly, the long-term revitalization of one of Dallas's worst slums has become derailed as local and federal agencies debate their respective fiscal obligations incident to a consent decree.
