2. I'm glad I stumbled across it

My previous assertions on the matter were based on subjective impressions from attending housing meetings and listening to the tsunami of desperate phone calls that come in daily at the Center for Independent Living. It's nice to know someone actually did a survey.

This just increases my anger at the obvious stalling the Bates regime has done over low-income housing though: and the obvious motive behind it. By the way, the wife of Mayor Bates is Loni Hancock, a State Senator. I'm sure she shares his beliefs. She's never deigned to respond to any inquiries I've made to her as a constituent over the years.

Frankly, that's my chief complaint with the Democratic party in California, and my gut feeling about why they are losing elections to apathy nationwide. They are so busy wining and dining the rich to assure their after-political-office high status jobs that they totally blow off their poor constituents. They don't even bother to respond to respond to them anymore. They don't care about those votes because they assume some mass email campaign will have them wrapped up.
