Homeowners in the coalition say they see a similar shift happening in parts of Dallas and in the Park Cities, where they say monster homes are destroying the historic fabric of older neighborhoods.

"We have beautiful homes here, absolutely beautiful," said coalition participant Carole Jones, who lives in the 300 block of Huffhines Street. "But they're small homes. To build a 7,000- to 10,000-square-foot house next to a 900-square-foot house is outrageous."
