Looking for some additional info, I came across these:

2010 Census LUCA Program

Census Bureau Adopts GPS to Find American Homes

Census Bureau eyes GPS for 2010 U.S. effort

Interesting - So this policy was put into place under Bush.

US Census Press Releases

Those links show that George Bush started this GPS thing back in 2006. It was very clever of Obama to get this program started even before he decided to run for president.

The LUCA program is made possible by the Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-430) which provides an opportunity for designated representatives of local, state, and tribal governments to review the addresses contained in the MAF.

So, this is something else to thank Clinton for?

Census 2000: What Information are Americans really required to give?

[A. Patriot]

From the NPR article:

Robert LaMacchia, head of the Census Bureau’s geography division, says they’ll capture the latitude and longitude of the front door of every house, apartment and improvised shelter they find.

“We will actually knock on doors and look for hidden housing units,” he says. “We will find converted garages; from the outside, it may not look like anybody lives there.”

So this was all planned for innocent purposes during the Bush administration which makes me feel a tiny bit better. Suck for them they can’t find out sh*t about our getaway home outside the US.
