Satellite image search tool
I don't know if this already exists, if not someone tech savvy please invent it! The idea is a computer program that searches satellite images for signs of neglected properties. Signs like tarps on roofs, black/brown pools, and cars parked all over the yard. The pool especially is a dead giveaway that a house is abandoned, in my experience.
My county has very up to date aerial images. I think a computer could scan millions of images each day and spit out a list of potentially distressed properties.
I'm not that knowledgable about programming, but this seems pretty doable. If you've ever watched Silicon Valley, it's like Jin Yang's "Hotdog" app.
