For the MTHU concept, respondents in each city were split into two random samples: one seeing “Limited” information on MTHU’s (they are similar to rooming houses and go for $600 per month), and the other seeing a “Full” set of information (they are similar to rooming houses, go for $600 per month, were implemented city-wide in Toronto, require rigorous background checks, and other elements). Support among the “Full” information sample was twice the support of the “Limited” information sample in both cities.
