Any of the OT members hear about this map?

Its been making it rounds on social media.
Its basically an app that has an in base map in different areas around the US, that specifically locates certin "parts of a city" that tends to be noisy.
And it gives you the option to avoid that area.

People are upset about it.


Personally, Im torn on the subject.

Why?

At what point do rational people quit catering to the irrational?

That is retarded.

For what reason would you have an opposition to this?

It was a couple of years ago that a guy made an app that helped tourists and drivers avoid driving through high crime areas. It used publicly available crime stats to do so. It was pulled from the App Store for being RACIST!!!!

Of course, the people sky screaming about it refused to admit that they were tacitly admitting that the high crime areas were therefore the black areas.

Elon should just integrate this into X since that's about the only place left with a modicum of common sense

Used to be when you looked at a Zillow listing house hunting you could click for crime stats for said neighborhood. That’s gone away. I wonder why?

I'm assuming it does not filter out white noise.
