QuoteDear Mr. Trajaros,
I appreciate your effort to get a consensus on demographics during the election. It told us quite a bit about who we were as a community and why the results ended up being what they were.
I'd like your help in gathering one for another matter; specifically from the Voiced.
I'd like you to conduct a consensus among the Voiced on the topic of the furniture tax, or rather property taxes and rental in general. I will compensate you 300 dinars for the labor.
While I think you should be given full liberty on the questionnaire, I've taken the liberty of giving you a template to work off of:
Q(1) If you are Voiced, would you rather:
A. Rent at current rates? With the furniture tax as is?
B. Rent at reduced rates on taxes? If so, would you pay at a reduced rate of:
1. 40%
or
2. 60%
C. Rent at 0% tax?
Q (2) Would you prefer to rent property as:
1. An individual?
or
2. An organization?
Why?:
I look forward to hearing a response, or results, from you soon. Ideally over the bellows.

Isabella,
I am not wholly disinterested. Normally I would simply say 'no' to anyone asking me to simply gather data without pay, but this particular topic has tickled my curiosity. Expect this to be slow-going. Property owners tend to be a secretive bunch and I suspect I may get little to no answers. I will, however, see what I can do. Results will be forthcoming if I can actually get anyone to answer the questions I have in mind.
