The question dealt with whether residents would buy a gate remote control for their personal use. Here are the results:
- 38 people will not buy an opener (54% of the vote)
- 15 residents will buy one opener (21% of the vote)
- 11 residents will buy two openers (16% of the vote)
- 5 residents will buy three openers (7% of the vote)
- 1 resident said they would buy 5 openers ( I think we would have to throw this vote out.)
15 + 22 +15=52 openers.
Now that does not take into consideration those that could not vote for one reason or another. But, I think the results are good enough to give the Social Club an idea on how to discuss the question at the next meeting.
More interesting for me is the number of residents participating in the poll. When we first tried polling on the website a few years ago we would get 5 or 6 votes. This poll showed 38+15+11+5+1=70 votes. The argument then was that nobody had a computer and if they did they used it rarely. Something has changed for the better me thinks.
Our poll may be a viable tool for showing the direction of neighborhood opinion. I doubt we could say that it is all inclusive for a number of reasons. One being we have a wide reading audience that does not include all park residents which means people not involved with the poll may think it funny to vote. On the other hand the poll does recognize when a computer address has voted once and will not let it vote again.
I think I can infer from the results more folks are using their computer which could mean they are understanding it better. I like that notion.
