This [link] gives me mixed emotions. I worked on the first site listed in the linked from its inception through 2005.
And while I haven’t worked on it since December ‘05 apparently no one else has either (the graph to the left tails off at November, 2005, the last month I was there to post [...]

Enter in an address or zip code and you’ll see a map of the neighborhood with little red, yellow or green (mostly red) Monopoly-style houses with comments about what makes that [...]
