I'm curious what a (consumer-level) house seeker can do with PostGIS that existing services can't provide. Do you merge and use datasets, etc. I was thinking of doing this in my own house search, and I would be happy to hear some

The deep reason is the hollowing out of the technical professions. Engineering (not software 'engineering') is not in the scope of most college bound youth.

This is probably a much bigger factor than usually thought. Military necessity will trump budget constrictions and property rights. Railways pre WW1, roads during and after WW2 and in preparation for the Cold War.

Production corporate environments are often firewalled/locked down. To change anything you have to go through layers of dis/approval. You are generally stuck with the defaults till the end of time.
