Things that cost money when you have to do hundreds of thousands of them.
You also have to:
Determine the question to be asked (exact wording)
Educate the public on the issue (significant cost)
And even then, a plebiscite from council isn't binding. All you accomplish is an accurate survey.
Just go off of the existing surveys that show that Calgary is significantly in favour of allowing secondary suites in all zones.
