Threshold 2008 publishes full report of findings on housing choices
March 26, 2008 – 3:11 pmThe full report of the Threshold 2008 San Mateo County-wide assembly on housing choices is now available at the Threshold website: Click here (24-page pdf)
As we mentioned in our last post on the topic, the results are pretty phenomenal from a housing advocate’s viewpoint. Here are some top-level results showing responses before and after the two-day deliberative polling process held March 15-16:
| Statement | Before | After |
| We need more housing | 38% | 68% |
| Vital employees will move away without more housing | 46% | 68% |
| There should be more regional authority on housing | 43% | 65% |
| There should be more public consultation on housing policy and approvals | 43% | 64% |
Participants were overwhelmingly favorable toward the weekend-long experience, and 65% rated it a perfect 10 out of 10! In addition, 90% of participants asked to be kept informed about the issue and Threshold’s efforts.
