*To the OSGeo / Geo-Dev Community:*
My name is Chris. I am a project architect operating out of NexaVision
(nexavision.tech), and I am currently seeking developers and geospatial
engineers interested in collaborating on a lightweight, high-impact OSINT
mapping project.
*The Objective: "The Richest Maps"* We are conceptualizing an open-source,
web-hosted mapping space designed to visualize massive wealth disparity on
a localized level. The goal is to ingest open-source county parcel data,
cross-reference it with trusted public databases (e.g., Forbes lists, SEC
filings, public property records), and map the residential footprints,
assets, and holding companies of the 0.1% (billionaire class) on a
county-by-county basis.
We are not building a bloated Google Maps competitor. We need a fast,
surgical, vector-based tile environment.
*The Technical Requirements:*
-
*Architecture:* A lightweight vector tile server (e.g., GeoServer,
PostGIS, Mapbox GL JS / MapLibre) capable of handling spatial queries on
the fly.
-
*Data Ingestion:* Automated or semi-automated pipelines to harvest and
normalize disparate U.S. county parcel data into a unified schema (WGS84 /
EGM 2020 projection preferred).
-
*Visualization:* Clean heatmaps and 3D building footprints (where
LiDAR/vector data is available) representing the highest-valued residential
parcels in any given query zone.
-
*User Interaction:* A user-queryable interface ("Who is the richest
resident in my county?") with trusted-source update capabilities (similar
to Waze's community-driven layering).
-
*Layering:* Specific attention to proximity queries—mapping the nearest
public spaces and navigable waterways to these heavily fortified assets.
*The Ethos:* Transparency is a two-way street. If the billionaire class
continues to leverage data brokers against the public, the public has a
right to utilize open civic data to map the true distribution of assets in
their own backyards.
If you are skilled in Python, R, DB management, or WebGIS, and you believe
that open data is a tool for civic accountability, I would like to connect.
This is a FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) initiative aimed at building
a better, more transparent world architecture.
