plighted properties. there is this group in detroit that goes out to survey the communities. the information they gather about a neighborhood can sometimes take nine months to become actionable. so what they do is they go to a technical assistance provider or a data analyst and they say, here's all the information about my community. can you turn it into a map? can you turn it into a report? so we wanted to take the expert out of the equation and really make it about the people who are collecting this data about their communities. so what we came up with is a tool kit called local data. we decided to create this web interface that any non-technical person, you or i, could easily create a survey using maps to say we're going to go map and survey the state of homes, for instance, in these couple of blocks. they've mapped a way to get it down from nine months to just a couple of days. we want to help government work better for everybody with people on the power of the web. i love their outcomes here,
