Low Information - High Crime
I recall somebody tried to make a phone app or plugin that allowed you to navigate around those areas.
Then apple or google blocked it because they said it was racist...
NAACP don’t like ‘Avoid Ghetto’ phone app
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) — An in-development Microsoft smart phone app designed to help drivers and pedestrians avoid unsafe neighborhoods is proving controversial among some minority rights groups that find the software potentially discriminatory.
The as-of-yet unnamed product is being referred to as the “Avoid The Ghetto” app by those who are concerned with where it will guide users.
Microsoft says the app will use crime statistics to determine what parts of town are to be avoided. But it’s unclear where the data will come from and how it will be interpreted.
Microsoft has filed a patent for the app, but the actual product is unnamed and not available yet.
