Visualizing crime of a city I am moving into: https://github.com/radekstepan/deadmonton

Cool map. Edmontonians don't generally like their city referred to as "Deadmonton". However, the nickname rings true on so many levels. Good luck with your move. Is it soon?

Thanks. Hmm the crime in your city is not that out of whack compared to the Canadian average. It actually made me feel safer about the city and will make house hunting easier.

The move shall be in about 10 months time. Am in the process of reviewing the different startups in the city currently. Are you involved in one?

I'm glad you're doing the research before taking the leap. There are lots of safe neighbourhoods and only a few I would avoid. Let me know if you have any questions about city.

Unfortunately, I'm not involved with any startups at the moment but would love to get involved with the right one (take a leap of my own). I moved back to this city about a year ago after being overseas for six years. I rushed the move due to family reasons and didn't properly set myself up in that regards. I have the right personality, but I'm not confident in my skills. I need to find a company where I can learn as well as contribute and flourish that way.

I hope you find something that suits you. Are you thinking of joining an existing startup or doing something on your own?

Is there a way to contact you? Your profile does not say.

Of course. You can reach out to me at j.bryce.rogers@gmail.com. We can exchange additional contact details through email if need be.

I guess police is not reporting anything now? I don't get any incidents in http://radekstepan.com/deadmonton/

Also, welcome to Canada, if you are into football/soccer there's a "2nd division" team in Edmonton http://www.fcedmonton.com/

You need to press the play button in the top left corner. The data go as far back as last Friday. I will run an update to get new data at the end of this week again.

Yeah thanks, I am originally from Czech Rep. so I am more excited about hockey.

where do you get the data for visualization?

This website: http://crimemapping.edmontonpolice.ca/ the data go back by only a few months so I cache them in a file and always update with new ones.
