Tell me I’m wrong about this 2040 survey. From the first question respondents are steered towards validating NC DOT econ development schemes. This is done by loading possible responsibles with five (5) different ways of saying the same thing — if you can even deduce what “enhancing household well-being” might be besides a blank check for some social engineering by NC DOT gnomes. Check it:

What do you think are the top three benefits that NCDOT should consider when prioritizing transportation investments and improvements?

(From the following list, please rank your top three responses to this statement with 1 being most important, 2 being second most important, and 3 being third most important.)

Attracting businesses

Boosting tourism

Reducing congestion

Enhancing household well-being

Reducing accidents

Creating jobs

Strengthening local/state/regional economies

And no, you cannot just pick the two sane choices — reducing congestion and accidents — I tried that.
