AHLOA has been putting out surveys designed to advance predetermined policy agendas rather than gather unbiased public input. The questions consistently assume that expansion, regulation, and new funding are necessary and ask respondents to endorse those conclusions instead of evaluating whether change is warranted. By omitting basic tradeoffs such as cost, congestion, neighborhood impact, accessibility, and overuse, the surveys skew results and create the appearance of community support that may not genuinely exist.
