Kia ora team,

I'm a Kiwi dev and I've noticed there's no single place to check what a suburb is really like before moving there. You either trawl through years of Reddit threads, ask on Facebook, or just trust the real estate agent (lol).

I'm thinking of building something dead simple:

You type in a suburb. It shows you:

• Crime stats (from public police data)
• School ratings / ERO reports
• Flood zones — is this place going underwater?
• What broadband you can actually get
• Commute time to the CBD during rush hour
• Median rent / house price (pulled from public data)

And you can compare two suburbs side by side.

Before I spend months building this, I want to know:

1. Would you actually use this?
2. What data matters MOST to you? (I can't build everything day one)
3. Would you pay a few bucks for it, or is this a "nice free tool" thing?
4. What am I missing that would make it a no-brainer?

Not selling anything — there's no website yet. Just trying to figure out if this is worth building or if I'm solving a problem that doesn't exist.
