On spatial dependency we report results when clustering at several levels (incl. stage). We also now do permutation inference at stage level too to account for spatial dependence. See attached

Hi Christopher! Not sure ASO is doing this. Note our analysis already deals with baseline levels of support so they only have to avoid areas with increasing support even when baseline is low. Also ASO talk clearly about how they select routes based on other considerations

Thank you Simon! We don't think that's the case because towns can only apply to be departure/arrival towns so we control/remove these from some analyses

Thanks again Vittorio. We actually had looked at only small municipalities (less than median size, 440 people) but hadn't included it in the paper. You can see it here :)
