If you have spent time searching for a home near a train station, then you probably felt some pain in trying to match up the address with a train station, and figuring out the distance to the train station. Although this problem has become less painful over the years, especially when google finally added transit lines to their maps, the livebytransit site is meant to help lessen the pain and make it much easier to find a home near public transportation.
While building this site I was researching public schools because my daughter entered preschool this year. I discovered that finding a home in a specific school district was REALLY hard. Not just painful and slightly annoying, but almost impossible. As almost an afterthought I added a school district search to the website, and now it is really easy to conduct a search by Chicago public school district on my livebytransit website. I think the reaction to the school district search has been more compelling than train stations, and in the spirit of creating solutions to problems (thank you CodeAcademy for that advice), I am starting to think that the school district problem is a bigger problem than searching by train stations.
Is this a pivot of Livebytransit, or an entirely new website? Livebygreatschools perhaps?
