Vague conclusions from Jacobs survey

[nancylebov]

I just asked people about whether they knew about Jane Jacobs and what their political orientation was. I'm forced to conclude that *maybe* Jacobs is a little better known among libertarians than non-libertarians, but that's swamped out by other factors, like whether you're interested in how cities work. It wouldn't surprised me if there's an age-based difference, too.

Nationality and city of residence may matter too. I'm guessing a Torontonian is a lot more likely to have heard of her than someone from Dallas.

Speaking as someone who works in Dallas County, I know of her solely from reading your blog.
