vacantDC! Blog

Welcome to the VacantDC Blog

vacantDC! & Its Future

So what is vacantDC! all about and what's it's direction? So the main goal of the site is to provide an interactive portal to all of Washington, DC's vacant properties. The portal will allow users to search and find relevant information on specific properties, provide users the platform to converse through comments, and the ability to post new pictures of properties. In addition vacantDC! will utilize the Open 311 system to allow users the ability to submit properties that may be deemed vacant and be able to check on its submission status. Some other items that are in the works are housing statistics in areas were vacant properties are located such as housing costs, number of vacant properties, crime statistics, etc. The abundance of statistical measurements are beyond imaginable.

As you probably know this site was built for "Apps for Democracy Community Edition". This is something that the community wanted and other blogs have written about. The Mayor and the community want to solve the vacant property problem and I am doing my part to help move the vacancy situation in the right direction! However, since this is a community problem, we need community involvement! Please feel free to send your suggestions and comments to me (questions@vacantdc.com) or post them here so everyone else can see and vote on them.

Enjoy!

Oh yeah, and who could forget an iPhone and Blackberry Apps? Anyone?
