City of Austin Survey on Building Regulations

[Updates below.]
[This is a repost. Original article lost after the recent server move.]

You can take the survey here. Flex those statist muscles! See what it feels like to just decide to force businesses to adopt the standards you feel they should adopt.

My prior comments on the issue of City-imposed design standards still stand. I oppose this.

I took the survey and left this comment:

If the City of Austin decides to further burden the businesses of this area with additional regulations based on the flimsy premise that the subjective issue of aesthetics is a government concern, the City of Austin might as well drop it's pro-growth lip-service now and avoid the embarrassment of standing proud in hypocrisy.

UPDATE(5/18/2004 11:22am)
The results are in. About 84% of the 5,495 survey respondents said they'd at least like "to see all buildings of a certain size or in certain areas subject to some design regulations."
