When the user clicks on a property marker, it would be nice to show a StreetView window of the location.

I would like to be able to display ownership information on each property, such as the name and address of the person who owned the property before the city took it. Preferably these owners could be linked together.

This data is currently available, but would need to be HTML scraped from the states web site.

An example of searching for block 3554 and lot 023 would look like this:

http://sdatcert3.resiusa.org/rp_rewrite/details.aspx?County=03&SearchType=MAP&AccountNumber=13%2001%203554%20%20023

Scraping the data, we could get all owner information, along with sale prices, etc. and store this in our mysql database for easy access.

I would like to be able to display property shapes imposed on the map of the vacant properties. The data for the shapes exists already in OpenBaltimore.

If this feature was made pretty generic we could use it to display building footprints along with neighborhood shapes.

CloudMade will be deprecated (or rather, extremely expensive) soon. Do you have an Enterprise account?

If not, we should update line 555 in https://github.com/VinylFox/baltimorevacants/blob/master/static/js/site.js
To implement a different base map.
