However, I do not agree with letting the general public rate places...this is more something people who've lived in quite a different number of environments should be doing...
And really a lot of you are over blowing the issue that there's white people listed on the page. WHO CARES. What did you first look at that in your racist attempts to point fingers at a supposed different racist? Grow up.
I've seen 9 square mile cities of nothing but white trash and 1 sq mile cities that would give even the worst parts Compton or Camden a run for it's money (and actually is recognized by people in the hood of Compton - I lived in a different part of LA, check out central falls, RI or west warwick, RI).
And no crime maps are not population density maps, either.
A lot of you obviously haven't lived that many places.
And I don't know why the heck I'm defending this but wow some ignorant lack of intelligence on the hacker news boards - sorta disappoints me.
I just thought of the same idea like this the other day. Then I thought maybe Waze/Google would buy it out to make better routes on their maps....

Matt looks good I just signed up - I'll have time to tinker around with it this week. Very promising. I'm very interested in these tools and your competition (psd2cssonline.com, divine, etc.) in this field. I just moved away from Boston to Florida after 25 years but I'll be up there frequently and maybe we can catch coffee and chat.
