Heat Map Mania

fantabulous! what an awesome tool! fun, but what’s the real life application? What strikes me as a scenario: you are considering a move to a new city and want to check out livability factors e.g. cost of living in terms of similiar neighborhoods. Scenario: Jill lives in Seattle and has been toying with the idea of moving to Portland. She’s got friends there and loves Max (their mass transit system, least I think it’s called Max). Anyway, she’s got a cute house in an up and coming neighborhood in Seattle and wants to compare in similiar neighborhood in PDX. She isn’t down to actual street level, just neighborhoods and general areas in PDX. Well this tool would help her do exactly that; look at how much more or less PDX similiar areas are. Or am I way off here?
