🏥💰 City of Dallas Considers Selling Old Hospital – At a $6.5 Million Loss 💰🏥

In a surprising move, the City of Dallas is considering selling the former Forest Park Medical Center, which was purchased in 2020 for $11 million. The catch? The city may end up selling it for just $4.5 million — a potential $6.5 million loss. 😳

Originally, the city planned to convert the building into a state-of-the-art police academy. However, rising costs and feasibility issues have led to this reconsideration.

City officials are now debating whether selling the property is the best option or if there’s another solution for taxpayers.

📺💸 YouTube TV Prices Are Going Up Again 💸📺

Heads up, streamers! YouTube TV has announced another price increase. The monthly subscription will now cost $72.99, up from the previous $64.99. This change comes as the platform cites rising content costs and ongoing investments to improve their service.

This isn’t the first price hike — back in 2017, YouTube TV launched at just $35/month.

What are your opinions about these changes? Is it a fair price adjustment, or has YouTube gone too far?
