The San Francisco Business Times recently ran a poll which asked the question "Do you think a porn movie set is the best use for San Francisco's old Armory". Despite the obviously poor wording of this question, the results speak for themselves.

Additionally, according to Eve Batey, the Blogging and Interactive Editor of the San Francisco Chronicle's Violet Blue's column netted 32 positive email responses for Kink/armory, and 5 against.

"This is reflective of my own experience having put myself out there and invited comments and feedback," said Kink.com founder Peter Acworth. "Since the start of this whole thing, the picture I am getting is of substantial majority support. There is a small body of people who feel strongly against our move, and this has caused many people to support us privately rather than publicly."
