[Clipping: No Decline In Housing Costs Seen]

Clipping of an article regarding how there is no decline to be seen in the housing costs in the newly built homes in Dallas. John M. Dickerman, the executive director of the National Association of Home Builders, stated that due to the advances in building materials, prices in housing increased, excluding lumber. Although building materials and infrastructure have advanced, the aspect that should be considered more closely is that Dallas is quickly developing metropolitan area, which will increase the demand for utilities for the city.
