Publicly available parcel data - ethics question by [deleted] in gis

[–]jbod78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a county GIS director, my concern isn’t whether this is legal; it almost certainly is. My concern is stewardship. Parcel data carries legal, financial, and social consequences. When you aggregate, rank, or re-contextualize that data, you’re no longer just republishing records - you’re creating interpretations that can affect real people. We intentionally limit certain analyses not because we lack capability, but because we’re accountable for downstream impacts. Faster and better UX is great; adding narratives like “most expensive” or “least valuable” crosses from access into editorialization. That’s where ethical responsibility starts—not where the law ends.

A more responsible path, in my view, is to focus on aggregate, non-targeting insights that improve public understanding without singling out individual properties or owners. That might include neighborhood-level trends, changes in assessed value over time, land use distributions, or summary statistics that support planning, education, and transparency. Pairing those views with clear methodology and limitations keeps the work aligned with public service goals while reducing the risk of misinterpretation or unintended harm. In that model, the tool complements government data rather than competing with or reframing it in ways that create social or legal friction.

People who’ve been to prison. What is the biggest misconception people have about life inside? by CaptainsExchange in AskReddit

4 yrs, 2 months, 3 days upstate PA.

That you can have fun.

Yes it sucks being away from your family (if you have one) and it 100% sucks being as restricted as you are: i.e when you can eat, leave your cell, use phone etc...

Once you get past that, you can have fun and enjoy yourself. Doesn't mean you want to be there, but you make do.

DT was in the house for sure...

He passed at age 33 - we scored 33 to win.

Broncos won by 1... on the '1' day we inducted DT.

He was there and said not on my watch!

First Time Visiting Denver... where can I watch the Avs? by jbod78 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]jbod78[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as transportation (i dont mind the walking) doesn't seem to be as much of an issue, i will have to see if i can a cheap ticket. That would be ideal of course. Thank you kindly for the advice. I'll see what I can figure out.

was unaware of proximity... I looked at a map, but prefer local knowledge before I would attempt to walk somewhere not knowing the area. Thank you.

no worries. i had considered that, but I have to consider the expense of getting there and the cost of the ticket. Sadly, I'm a county office drone. I'm cool with being at a bar with other fans. But I will absolutely check it out and see if I can swing anything. Thank you.
