Do any of the people you named have another home or fixed residence?
¿Tiene(n) algunas de las personas que mencionan otra casa o residencia fija?
Most respondents defined residencia permanente as having another house where someone lives.
Some defined this term as owning another house, regardless of where the person actually lives,
and few defined it as what they consider to be their permanent address.
It is common for immigrants to interpret this term as the house they lived in or currently own in
the parent country – especially if they plan on returning.
This sentence has subject-verb agreement errors. Although subject-number use is correct,
agreement may be simplified to make this sentence easier to read.
