Carrollton, a few miles north of Dallas with a population of over 115,000, was settled in the 1840s and became an important rail freight center in the late 19th century. The nine-member Board of Adjustment is empowered by state law to review and make exceptions to city zoning ordinances or other administrative decisions by the city. Since the stated purpose is to render "full justice and equity to the general public," it is a great place for a Libertarian to make a difference.
