What the Follow-Up Found
The Wave 2 follow-up to the 2026 Pembroke Pines Community Survey reached 1,636 residents between July 21 and 24, 2026, weighted to the city’s registered voters (+/-3.4 points). 693 of them (42%) had also answered the first survey, so the two waves can be read against each other.
- The $80 million police-fire bond moved 18 points on information. Before residents were shown the facilities and the cost, it trailed 27% yes to 37% no. After the briefing it led 42% to 34% — a margin swing from −10 to +8.
- City text alerts drew the broadest support of any proposal tested in either survey: 82% of residents said they would be likely to sign up.
- Nearly half would use on-demand transit. 48% said they would be likely to use a free on-demand ride service, the follow-up to Wave 1’s lowest-rated city service.
- Willingness to pay is the bond’s hurdle. 50% would pay nothing more in property taxes for it, 34% named an amount they would pay, and 16% are not sure.
- Most households are mobile. 85% say everyone in their household gets where they need to go; the rest report someone who regularly has trouble getting around.
- Code enforcement is local, not citywide. 43% of residents reported none of the listed property or code problems where they live.
