Global Bike Share Map

This map shows the location of every bike share system in the world. The map gives data on system size, bike availability at stations, station totals and locations. You can even pull up ridership reports and run animations! Columbus will be getting a bike share system that opens in July, so expect it to show up on this map in the coming months!

Cool Link Mortgage Interest Deduction

Okay, maybe not the coolest link, but still…
The Mortgage Interest Deduction is basically a government subsidy that specifically targets single-family home ownership. What this means is that it’s basically money to build more sprawl. Today’s link shows several interactive maps on this topic, and you can search all the way down to the zip code. For Columbus, those who take advantage of this deduction live far more in the suburbs than in the inner core, not surprisingly.
