The study surveyed 2,OOO randomly selected Carlsbad households to see if an believed they had experienced discrimination while seeking housing in the city. The purpose of the study was to use the survey instrument as an information gathering tool, well as an educational tool. Two-thousand households received a copy of the survey, as wf as an informational brochure regarding people’s rights and responsibilities under Fair Housil Laws, detecting housing discrimination, and what to do if discrimination is suspected. (TI information was presented in both English and Spanish,) An information request card was al included for the resident to complete if he or she wanted more information regardi discrimination and fair housing. Hopefully, when residents read the survey instrument do with the explanation of the fair housing laws, it helped to educate them regarding fair housi practices, whether they responded to the survey or not. This survey was conducted to gather information regarding residents’ experiences in obtainj housing in Carlsbad, to gauge the community’s perception of fair housing choice within the an and to identify actions to help reduce housing discrimination.

The response rate for this study was 31 percent (622 households responc out of 2,000 surveys sent - 475 from the first mailing and 147 from the second). This is a g( response rate considering that the topic of fair housing and discrimination is sensitive. W’ dealing with sensitive issues, response rates are usually lower than that of other types of SUN( SANDAG assisted City of Carlsbad staff with the design and layout of the survey instrum The City of Carlsbad translated all materials into Spanish. SANDAG printed the survey fo and stuffed the envelopes for both mailings. The City of Carlsbad managed the mailing pro for both mailings. 3 CITY OF CARLSBAD FAIR HOrJSTNG SURVEY 19% The following report summarizes the statistics gathered from the study.

The following section analyj the results of the confidential study. Overall, the results clearly show that nearly all (97%) respondents have not experienc discrimination in Carlsbad within the last five years. A total of nine respondents said they hs experienced discrimination while attempting to rent or purchase a home within Carlsbad. t respondents were not sure if they have been discriminated against while seeking a Carlsl home. (See Figure 1.) Figure I HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED DISCRIMINATION IN CARLSBAD? 1 Housing Discrimination Felt bv Nine Rewondents Nine respondents said that they felt they had experienced discrimination within the last five y' while seeking housing in Carlsbad. (Percentages have not been calculated for this section to the small number of respondents who said they have been discriminated against while eel housing. The actual number of people will be used instead of percentages.) Of those who have felt discrimination, most (six people) have experienced it within the last y Three experienced discrimination more than one year ago. According to the respondents, tl instances were not concentrated in any one part of Carlsbad. Discrimination was reporte 7 LIIY OF CARLSBAD LAIR HOliSlNG SL’RVEY 1994 three of the four geographic areas in the city -- four in the southwest area, three in the southeast area, and two cases in the northwest area. (See map below.) CITY OF CARLSBAD w Cm BOUXDARY Respondents indicated a variety of reasons they believe they were discriminated against. Of the times that respondents felt discriminated against, four said that different prices were quoted; three said that they were denied the rental or purchase of the home; two were applied different policies; and one was offered unequal terms. Nearly all of the nine respondents gave other comments. (See Appendix B for verbatim comments.) For example, one respondent said, tour abbreviated, reconmended rhar apartment complex not ideal for us. The respondent felt that the discrimination occurred because they were not married. All respondents who believed they had been discriminated against were asked what they felt the reasons for discrimination were. Discrimination due to race or ethnicity topped the list of reasons for the housing discrimination. This was followed by discrimination due to being an unmarried couple and to receiving financial assistance from the government.

Two respondents mentio real estate agents and one respondent said that a financial institution discriminated against thc Among the respondents who have felt discrimination, the majority of the nine respondc experienced it while trying to rent. Six respondents were trying to rent a home, while tl were trying to purchase a home when they experienced discrimination. Only one responc filed a complaint.

Note: No trends for the population should be extracted from the data because there was a small number of respondents who felt discrimination. Although trends cannot be identified from this study due to this small number, information can be observed: at least nine residents felt that their fair housing rights had been violated while seeking a home in the City of Carlsbad. To Most, Hotlsing Discrimination is Not a Problem in Carlsbad Overall, respondents (most of whom have not experienced housing discrimination in Carlsbad) felt that discrimination is not a major problem in the City of Carlsbad.

Education was the theme receiving the most support. The action receiving the highe composite score' was to educate people and businesses where problems can occur. TI following table ranks the actions by composite score.

In other words, both groups ranked the actions in the same or1 ' Composite. scores were developed to combine the ranked responses from respondents. Composite Score calculated by assigning the highest weight to the first choice, then decreasing the weight for each subset choice. 11 CITY OF CARLSBAD FAIR HO~JSING SlJRVEY 1994 Many respondents wrote additional comments regarding suggestions of actions that the City of Carlsbad should (or should not) take. Some respondents felt that the city should not spend any resources on actions to reduce housing discrimination because there is not a problem. Others said that nothing should be done about discrimination. All comments to this and other questions are located in Appendix B of this report. Demopraphic Characteristics of AI1 Resu0ndent.s The typical respondent to the survey is a 40 to 59 year old white person who has an annual household income of at least $54,501. This person owns a single family, detached home and lives with one other person. Overall, the demographic characteristics of those who responded to the survey are similar to the characteristics of the city’s population as reported in the 1990 Census. After comparing the percent of Hispanic respondents to the Hispanic population of the City of Carlsbad, the Hispanic population seems to be under-represented.* The opposite seems to be true with the percent of White respondents. Table 3 on the following page shows the comparison between the percent of people by ethnicity for the Fair Housing Study and the 1990 Census, as well as other comparative demographic characteristics. ’ One possible reason for the under-representation from the Hispanic population may be due to the language barrier. We tried to reduce the effects of this bias by offering the questionnaire in Spanish. Instructions and a telephone number were provided at the top of the English survey for the survey recipient to request a survey in Spanish. 12 1 I 1 0 I t I d 8 t I 8, I 1 a 8 1. 8 I CIN OF CARLSBAD FAIR HOUSING SURVEY 195 Table 3 DEhlOGRAPHIC COI\IPARISONS BETWEEN RESPONDEKTS Ah3 THE 1990 CENSUS Survey 1990 Census Respondents Ethnicity: White Hispanic 14% Black Asian 3% Other <1% Total 100% 100 % 82 % 87 % 2% 1% 5% 4% 3% Tenure: Own 62 % 100 % 100 % Total m - 38 % Rent 75 % Percent of Households with: Incomes $54,500 or Less * Incomes More Than $54,500 ** Total 100% 100% n/a $71 1 n/a 38% 57 % 62% - 43 % Median Housing Value Median Contract Rent $255,869 * 1990 Census range was hcomes Less than $55,m. ** 1990 Census range was Incomes $SS,OOO or More.

VERBATIM RESPONSES CITY OF CARLSBAD FAIR HOUSING SURVEY 1994 Q5. HOW DO YOU BELIEVE YOU OR THE OTHER I\lEMBER(S) OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST? 0 Attitude change. Tour abbreviated, recommended that apartment complex not likely ideal for us. Went to see new development and ignored. Not helped by sales people, yet as othe arrived, they were assisted. Because I believe in hard work. I was told I had to be approved by paying a non-refundable $25.00 charge to obtair TRW on me. I am a public assistance recipient and the owner refused to rent to someone receivin aid! 0 Also told that a previous person application went through and was moving in, but t place stayed vacant for two more months. Q6. WHAT DO YOU OR THE OTHER ME&IBER(S) OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD BELIEVE WAS THE REASON(S) YOU WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST? 0 I am a single parent whose income is from child support. 0 Another reason is it's hard to ask a person to hold a place for you 30 days when tl can get someone to move in immediately. Laziness. 47, WHO DO YOU BELIEVE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST YOU OR AGAINST A MEMBER OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD? Owner of house who was selling his own house. Liberal politician and judges, ACLU. 27 ClTY OF CARLSBAD FAIR H07J.YI:VG s7lRVEY I993 Q11. WHAT OTHER ACTIONS SHOULD THE CITY OF CARLSBAD TAKE TO REDUCE HOUSING DISCRIMINATION IN THE CITY? Stop wasting my taxes on this issue. 0 Leave the matter alone. Psychology teaches us that the mind cannot process negative ideas. By focusing on a non-existent problem, you encourage people to create it. I feel that landlords should be able to choose who they want to rent to. Leave well enough alone. 0 Nothing. None! Why should the local Carlsbad taxpayer pay for implementation of Federd and State laws!? Do not believe the City or any government entities can make a change. The people are aware but do it in subtle ways and government entities cannot change the attitudes. Don’t adopt any liberal programs which degrade the community. Be a good Christian and encourage the same. I didn’t know housing discrimination was a problem. Why are we wasting our tax dollars on an unnecessary survey? We are not aware of any problem, therefore we cannot respond to the above. e Review building codes and especially fees and cost so more housing can become available. Let free market enterprise determine price and availability. Violations of housing discrimination reported to authorities for prosecution. 0 I just moved here. License more RV encampments. I am sure you already address this problem. I see no further need! Educate people on the dangers of discrimination and hatred. Just because someone is a different color, shade doesn’t make them bad, etc. 28 1! I I li t I d T 1 I I c1 I I I, E I 1 1 CITY OF CARLSBAD FAIR HOUSING SURVEY 195 Have some lower cost housing. Unnecessary. 0 Educate those guilty of discrimination after it is determined that the violation took place. Most people don’t think they are prejudiced. I do believe that landlords, bankers and loan institutions know about federal housing laws. Who says there is discrimination in Carlsbad. No legal assistance! I don’t get involved. 0 I have no knowledge of this problem. Do not know of any problems. Stop wasting money on this foolishness. Find another issue to work on. There is no housing discrimination in Carlsbad, except for zoning laws which discriminate against gainful employment. Spend no more money or energy on it. 0 Quit wasting our money on such poorly prepared, obviously biased surveys. Do nothing more. We pay too much attention to it now. I think all people know, but how do you have people a conscience to do what is ri; and fair? 0 Offer information for victims of housing discrimination - phone number, address o who can help with legal action. Don’t look for trouble. There is a lot of new housing going up in the city and a large turnover is what is already available. 0 This is not a problem - with a few exceptions. It should be dealt with on a case b: case basis. 0 Nothing. The city should quit sending out these stupid surveys, hire more police officers an back them. Listen to the people that live here. Hello! Hello! 29 CIN OF CARLS%rtD FAIR HorlsixG SURVEY 1994 Really all of the above, but I don’t know how prevalent the problem is. 0 The persons looking for housing, rent, lease or buying should have good credit, proof of his or her reputation, obey housing laws - correct number of persons in household. Nothing! Low income housing doesn’t need dishwashers or wall-to-wall carpet. In fact with my allergies, I don’t want either one - but cannot find a pIace to rent without wall-to- wall carpet, Unaware of there being a problem. Thus, unable to suggest possible corrective actions. I have never observed the problem. Follow up on offenders. Offer legal assistance to landlords who rent to problem tenants! Leave well enough alone! If you have the money to buy, you’ll find a seller! Often the property owner is the victim! 0 A person who has saved and invested in rentals should be able to screen new tenants. We have had rental properties and your property can be trashed, destroyed by renters, plus ruin neighborhoods. People should live there if they can afford housing - not be subsidized. 0 Enforce stiffer penalties. Let the landlorddhome sellers know this won’t be tolerated - if it’s happening. Make sure residents are not illegal aliens. 0 Educate people about why these people are OK - not just legalistic approach. Government mind own business. Try to make it easier for HUD recipients to move in to a place on a shorter time limit instead of 30 days. Escalate the gay pride in communities of the surrounding Carlsbad area. Maybe gay/Iesbian parades down Carlsbad Village Drive. 32 b I I 1: P I 1 I 8 1 E 0 0 1 d 4 E T 5 Cln OF CARLSBAD FAIR HOUSING SURVEY 195 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 0 There ng& to be an overseeing agency that can investigate actions of Boards of Directors and Homeowners Associations. My Board of Directors: 1) requires owners that rent their units to put up $300 in case the tenant does damage to common areas. All other homeowners have no such security deposi 2) My Board of Directors passed a rule prohibiting children under three from usin the pool, HUD interceded, and the rule was dropped. 3) The president of my Board refused to change the time or date of our annual Homeowners meeting when it was discovered that it would fall on a religious holiday. No discrimination encountered. If you own, you are taxed to death. If you want to make changes to your property, the City screws you with fees. My next purchase, if ever, with modification will bl done with no authority from the City. You’re all a bunch of thieves living off us working class, Get government out of our business. Get a life. You should have the right to rent your property to who you think is best, so that yc property is not destroyed, and they may not pay the rent, and you could lose everything. Why can’t we also protect the homeowner or property owner? What protects him? Sometimes the law seems backwards. It’s like you’re being punishe for owning property that you rent out. This is not an appropriate use of taxpayer funds. I don’t believe in low income housing. It detracts from a neighborhoods image. J you allow low renters, etc., the neighborhood will become less desirable and blighted. If one can’t afford to live in a certain neighborhood - move. I can’t affc $800,000 to live in La Jolla - so I live here! 0 Please note: Owners during escrow must sign under penalty of pejury that they h read and understand the Fair Housing Act and Laws. This survey sounds like it is slanted toward renter discrimination. If someone is unfairly treated then let them take it to court and hire their own attorney and investigator. Don’t start putting t.l cost of extra personnel and education when the simple fact is that San Diego’s economy is going down fast and people losing their jobs can’t afford their rent anymore. Also with property tax and other insurance costs rising -justifiable rent increase is inevitable. I think it is very interesting that you felt it necessary to write the “Fair Housing - Your Rights and Responsibilities” pamphlet in Spanish. I feel if people live here ; are residents of the U.S., they should be able to read English. Why do we have 1 spend extra money to translate everything into Spanish? 33 CITY OF CARLSBAD FAIR HO~JSLVG SllRVEY 1994 0 If more time were spent on making government more efficient and less on this social engineering. This is reverse discrimination against Caucasians. Stop trying to blame others for lazy minority failures. The few Japanese Americans on welfare should tell you something. 34 I c 1 p, 1 t 1. 1, t li t @ 8 t t J I h 1 APPENDIX C E P La Ciudad de Carlsbad estB conductando una encuesta para juntar informaci6n sobre las problemas que 10s residentes encontrando a viviendas dentro de 10s limites de la ciudad.
