Thanks, Chris.
Re. my Point #2: The lead sentence in Item 37 defines CICs
as individually owned lots or units (emphasis added). I
believe that excludes apartment renters, who make up a substantial segment of
our population and are not free to put up antennas on the basis of not
living under CC&Rs or HOA rules. What I was trying to say is that way,
way fewer that 7/8 of Americans are free from restrictions on installing
effective antennas. Unless we can put the one-in-eight comment in that context,
I think we should leave it out entirely and lead instead with the
four-out-of-five statistic referenced in my Point 1.
Re. my Point #4: Here's the suggested edit: near the
end of the text on document page 23 add (insert bolded):
. . . one who wants (or must due to proximity to
medical facilities, schools, work or family) to live in a
CIC . . .

OK, well, let me see what we
can do. Logistically, the changes you suggest are going to be somewhat
difficult to get in, but we will try. I have some good
supporting material that Dave Woolweaver and John Stratton came up with
that I have to get into the record somehow so maybe we can put these points in
as well.
As to your point #2, CICs include Multiple Unit Dwellings if they are
privately managed so the stat can't really be manipulated.
And for point #3, I agree that municipalities do encourage and some
enforce CC&Rs, but without a few anecdotal examples other than the
one you note in D 037 I can't make much of that.
Good points though, Marty. Let's see what we can do with
them.
