I think more can attend is more important than more really love the city, both from a most Buffistas perspective and a better shot of meeting our block requirements perspective.
Plei said what I was thinking.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm thinking, since the reasoning behind the information we want is two-stage, maybe the question should still be a two-parter, e.g.
1. Where can you attend? (Options: Seattle yes/no, SF yes/no)
2. Where do you prefer? (Seattle, SF, no preference between them)

I agree with billytea's two-part question. It gets us the required information clearly, without having to sort through too many layers.

There are two important totals: Who wants a given city, and who can go to a given city. The latter should be the priority -- correct? But the former will be considered.
This is how I feel about it.
bt's suggestion would get that info. out, yes?

is the first deciding factor which city people CANT attend? that seems a bit negative to me.
Think of it as the deciding factor being which city would have the largest number of potential attendees.

Are we assuming that if someone can't attend in one city then they will definitely attend in the other? That's a pretty large leap.

This is true. I was thinking that if someone can't attend either (e.g. me), they just wouldn't vote. But maybe we add an option to the first question to cover "can't attend either".
Alternatively, it seems the main issue with the first question is not absolute numbers, but the difference in numbers who can attend between the two cities. If that's true, then someone who can't attend either won't really change the decision-making whether they get counted or not.

I can see the distinct possibility of folks voting "Can't attend" for one city for whatever reasons, and then when the dates get closer finding out they can't attend at all no matter what the city.
