625 persons per square mile sounds pretty nice. Where I live is about 3000 per square mile, and the county is about 750 per square mile. And, it's a pleasant Human-scale density.

Yeah well, the source of the information is super suspicious. Let me translate this to different locales: en_US: „Fox news survey shows most people against immigration“ en_UK: „The Sun readers would vote for even tougher brexit, polls show“ It’s not exactly surprising that people who read 20min vote in line with SVP. If you want more neutral information about Swiss politics, swissinfo.ch is the independent public media corporation.

This makes the strategy of picking who precisely is allowed in a lot more interesting. I look forward to hearing how they solve this.

It's not "Most Swiss", it's 52% of survey respondants (8,411 people) out of the 9.1 million population.
