This is great. I have been thinking of building something similar to track how many cars are speeding on my street so I have data for discussing changes with the neighborhood and local government.

This is just an all around better concept than mine. Love all the extra data it can gather. Especially living near schools having the data of cyclists and pedestrians will make a much better data set around safety and methods to tamp down on speeding and cut through traffic.

Impressive creation. Could most of this functionality be put in an app that could run on an unused phone? If so, this idea could spread much more widely.

It is great. But the dual use implications of this tech!

…with a modest modification, it can track Person Quality of your neighborhood. How better to monitor the Culture Biome of your environment?

Here’s hoping we all agree on what the definition thereof.

What actions would you expect to come out of problematic measurements like a "Culture Biome"?
