Skewed survey

People are justified in being skeptical about the City of Austin neighborhood-planning process. There was a survey answered by just 109 people. The reported results do include some of the responses from this household; others are not included at all. Because some comments and responses are recorded, one can only conclude the others were deliberately omitted. Accuracy is not to be expected, if one is to draw conclusions from the documents furnished (and not furnished) in response to public information requests (still called open records requests by many, although the official terminology has changed). It would be easy, were one to have the time and the determination, to set oneself up as a general gadfly to follow some of these matters.
