Dominic, thanks for the online correction. I assume you'll run a correction in the print edition next week as well (particularly since the error came in a graph and not just in the text of the story)??
I'd also note that for the last 3 years over two thirds of residents in Downtown neighborhoods report being concerned about aggressive panhandling. It was a top three concern this year. And observations of panhandling have increased 55% from 2008 to 2009, as we discussed last night. Crime Downtown increased 22% during the same period, a rate that was higher than in any neighborhood Downtown.
in a poll of whiny entitled millionaires, including people who jet around the world and have a fancy condo in "Downtown", surprisingly, most didn't want to let the riff raff anywhere near them.
color me unsurprised.
the only polls that matter are the ones by citizens on election day.
dumbass.
