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.

Hi, Chris.
My top four finds are:
1) There's a potentially powerful statistic in Section II - 37 that I believe should be included in the Executive summary, namely that over 80% of new housing construction is subject to private deed restrictions.
2) The statistic noted above is preceded by the statement in Section II - 36 that, "as of 1998, one out of eight Americans lived in private common-interest communities". That suggests that seven out of eight don't but ignores the great number - perhaps a majority - that live in apartments or other rental units. This statement in isolation may do more harm than good.
3) Some cities require (see D #037) or encourage private deed restrictions as an alternative to detailed municipal zoning regulations, effectively bypassing the intent of PRB-1. This fact could bolster our discussion of the pervasiveness of private deed restrictions and/or of the scope of PRB-1.
4) One important reason Hams are constrained in their housing choices is proximity to adequate medical care (a hot topic in federal circles), but I don't find that mentioned anywhere in our discussion of housing alternatives / choices. This could be incorporated into document page 25 (pdf page 28) among other places.
The rest consists of minor grammatical nits that are of no real consequence.

Marty, sad to say it really is too late. I am way out of position now for miscellaneous edits. Are these major concerns?
