No, it does not. That's as lame as researching a school paper by simply
doing a Yahoo search. Studying a community means taking the time to get
to know people, by hanging around them in social groups, charitable
organizations, neighborhood groups, bands, arts groups, poetry groups,
whatever. It means connecting by going to bars, coffeehouses, and whatnot
and talking with people.
I have had no trouble going to an unknown town (such as Spokane) and
finding an inexpensive place to stay at about half the price advertised in
the "discount" coupon books. You just hang out, talk with people, get to
know them a little.
