Recovery Act Mapping--Not Much That Impresses.

Frankly, I haven't seen any Recovery Act mapping sites that have really wowed me.

The new O'Reilly Radar article HERE includes some links to lots of different Recovery Act mapping sites, maybe there is a site within that could serve as a benchmark; if you see one don't hesitate to call it out in a comment on this post.

HUD's joint effort with USDA HERE leaves a lot to be desired--while project level Section 8 Recovery Act dollars are included, you can't readily download any of the underlying data.

Oregon's Recovery Act mapping HERE also does not include any data download option, housing data is completely missing, data is only available at the county level, and you have to do a lot of drilling down find actual data for specific programs.
