Those queried were asked what they believed would happen if the rent controls were abolished, including a possible rise in rental costs, and construction of apartment buildings in the city. A series of additional questions addressed the topic of men's and women's bathing suits. Topics covered whether modern bathing suits were too revealing, whether the respondent intended to wear a bathing suit in public during the summer, how the respondent would describe his/her appearance while wearing a bathing suit, and whether women should be allowed to go topless at public beaches. Background information on respondents includes age, race, ethnicity, sex, education, political party, family income, and whether the respondent owned or rented his/her residence
