Crime is up, arrests are down, and the ball in Downtown Dallas always has lights burned out.

In 2025 the Boston Consulting Group was hired by Downtown Dallas Incorporated. They found and warned that ongoing public safety concerns, homelessness and even assaults near the headquarters could push AT&t to leave. Some advocacy groups claimed employee assaults happened and tied it to recent move to Plano. AT&t did bring up a public safety concerns privately in talks with the city.
