Re: Point Has Merit

Because the data is already there and available to be parsed. It would cost them peanuts to provide this information so that local governments could actually decide what services are being provided to their community.

Or should the governments have every person sit down, enter in their address to these websites, let it calculate, and then enter it into their own database.

Its a waste of freaking money to have the information sitting there unused and intentionally hidden.

Here's a better idea.

Let the people who really care about this information sit at their keyboards and man the phones and go through every address to find it.

If they find problems or discrepancies with the information, they can make every attempt to resolve it themselves.
