When we were city and house shopping, I kept wanted to be able to query houses for things that the major providers don’t provide query terms for. Even proximity to parks was difficult to discern or searching by walkscore, crime rates, etc, was difficult. Each house has that data, and you can search for some of it visually, but as a developer, you just want to run queries...You seem like the sort of person to crack that code when you do choose a city. I’d be curious if you do (or have) come up with anything :)
- iandanforth 6y agoI am, but you really need to be at business scale to get data access, for an individual doing a 1-off search the economics don't make sense and the incentives of data providers arn't aligned. That said there is a company (nextburb.com) who's CEO I've been in regular contact with who is trying to dramatically scale what kind of searches people can do. I've been talking to them about our needs and use-cases and they've been quite responsive.
