With the housing downturn in full swing, it’s interesting how many housing developments have slowed to a near stop or stalled completely. I’ve begun mapping out some of these fallow construction sites in the areas that I frequent (north King / south Snohomish), and I thought it would be interesting to open the process up and make it a group project.
Below you will find the map that I have started. If you’d like to contribute some stalled residential construction sites (SFH or condo) in your area, just sign into your Google account then head to this link, click “Edit” on the left side of the page, and begin adding your markers.
At present, the map is open for anyone with a Google account to edit freely. I only ask that you not modify existing points added by others and that you follow roughly the same format that I have used on the starting points, which includes location, size (# of units), builder, status, and if possible, a picture.
If we all work together, I think we can create something that will be pretty interesting.
