A banking initiative for underserved Dallas area neighborhoods has a lot to prove
/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/dmn/IKAQ3XDNGVBMLHNBXKWKDI2YMM.jpg "A banking initiative for underserved Dallas area neighborhoods has a lot to prove")
A number of neighborhoods throughout Dallas-Fort Price with little or no entry to banks will now be seeing 30-foot-long cellular items of PNC Financial institution roll onto their streets.
It’s a symbolic transfer and essential outreach as a result of predatory lending stays an issue nationwide and notably in Texas, which has one of many worst common payday-loan rates of interest within the nation. However this initiative alone gained’t remedy the necessity for banking companions that each take deposits and likewise present loans in underserved areas.
That is one step in a path to attempt to reverse the results of systemic disinvestment in low- and moderate-income communities, particularly for neighborhoods inside southern Dallas. The town just lately handed an ordinance designed to incentivize banks to spend money on racially numerous neighborhoods, although Metropolis Corridor can not drive banks to take action. In the meantime, federal regulators not often transfer to research and cite banks for discriminatory lending practices, in accordance with the U.S. Authorities Accountability Workplace.
We commend PNC Financial institution, the fourth-largest financial institution within the area, for its management in righting a historic fallacious. Dallas Morning Information reporter Colbi Edmonds wrote that the cellular banks will assist residents entry an ATM (with the choice to withdraw $1 payments), open financial institution accounts, choose up or substitute debit playing cards, apply for loans or focus on funds.
Southern Dallas will get not less than two cellular branches: one in Jubilee Park and Neighborhood Heart and the opposite on the nonprofit CitySquare. The financial institution will deploy different items round areas of want in North Texas because it finds extra nonprofits to companion with to construct belief inside communities.
What should observe is critical and sustained funding from main banks to undo the results of redlining that unfairly tagged massive swaths of southern Dallas as hazardous investments.
Low-income earners should have the ability to draw upon credit score that may assist them construct long-lasting wealth, as one does by means of a mortgage. Proudly owning one’s home is often considered the primary strategy to accumulate and preserve wealth, however Black and Hispanic households are much less more likely to personal their properties than white households. In accordance to an information evaluation by the Nationwide Neighborhood Reinvestment Coalition, the hole in homeownership charges for white and Black households is the most important it’s been in practically 120 years.
We welcome efforts to interchange predatory payday lenders in Texas, who on common cost $645 in curiosity on a $500 mortgage.
Banks should be prepared to soak up extra threat with their investments. On this regard, PNC can also be making strides. The financial institution stated it meant to take a position $60 million to renovate the Rosemont at Ash Creek Residences, an reasonably priced housing complicated, and $21 million to construct the Highpoint at Wynnewood, in accordance with WFAA-TV (Channel 8).
It’s going to take extra work to spice up southern Dallas. PNC Financial institution is setting a basis that we hope others will construct on.

Any team that is coached by Mike Tomlin is going to be ready to play on any given Sunday. Such was the case for the 2023 Steelers who finished 10-7 and made it to the playoffs once again. Tomlin has never had a losing season during his tenure in Pittsburgh and the team has built a reputation for being a tough, well-coached football team under his watch.
Fast forward to 2024 and this Steelers team looks vastly different but under Mike Tomlin it will still be a disciplined football team who should be respected.
2023 Record: 10-7
Last Meeting: 11/8/2020 Steelers win, 24-19. Dallas Cowboys lead series 17-16-0
Head Coach: Mike Tomlin (176-101-2 as a head coach)
Key Additions: QB Justin Fields, QB Russell Wilson, LB Patrick Queen
Key Departures: QB Kenny Pickett, WR Diontae Jackson, WR Allen Robinson II
What more can you say about T.J. Watt that hasn’t already been said about the playmaker? Watt may be the most feared pass rusher in the game today and the Cowboys better have a plan for how to stop him on Sunday.
With a rookie left tackle in Tyler Guyton, and Terrence Steele at right tackle who has been known to be shaky at times, figuring out how to limit Watt and his impact will be key to the team’s success.
Watt has the ability to completely change the momentum of a game and if the Cowboys don’t come prepared, he’s going to be a game-wrecker once again. Whether it’s by keeping a running back in or chipping him with a tight end, the Cowboys are going to have to maneuver their offense around where Watt is in order to limit his impact.

With the shakiness that is the Dallas Cowboys secondary George Pickens has a chance to make a massive impact on Sunday night. The Cowboys are battling injury issues at corner so they will be undermanned even if it is just DaRon Bland who misses the game.
Pickens, a dynamic pass catcher out of Georgia, is rounding into form as one of the games best receivers. Trevon Diggs will travel some, but Mike Zimmer doesn’t ask him to do it all the time, setting up a situation where Pickens can find a favorable matchup against other cornerbacks the Cowboys trot out there.
Last week he went off for over 100 yards receiving. If the Cowboys aren’t careful and don’t have a plan for it, they could see Pickens do something like that once again.
