A poll like this would have an inherent problem: it's ineffective to
have *only* the people who are already in a place vote on whether a
measure to get new people into the place is a good idea.

This is the same as the NIMBY problem in municipal politics: if you
give the residents of any area too much say over development in that
area, they will always tend to oppose it on the grounds that it's bad
for *them*. They have no inherent motivation to consider the interests
of other people who might want to live or work in the area, but who
cannot.
