Immediately, I want to know more about this image. Is County Club Drive the name of a residential street (and thus houses ARE built there), or is it a road that leads to a county club, and thus marketed as an elite recreational space? In either instance, how does class factor into this visualization of toxicity?
In your caption for the image, you state that it "makes claims to stop future housing developments." I don't know when this mapping project began or the date for this image, but I'm curious - was it successful is discouraging new housing developments?
To get at my earlier questions about class, how can we collage this image with a Zillow type visualization that shows relative property prices of developments in this area? How can that help us to see the intersectionalities of toxicity and socioeconomics?
One of the strongest elements in this work, for me, is the potential for this project to illustrate, ethnographically, new configurations around property, value, etc. based on these new forms of infrastructure DNA, which is the data infused in zip codes and area codes and addresses. These living, public biometrics are measured in terms of exposure and this informatic shows that. Rather than walkability, is there an air quality measurement in the property's portfolio? Will there be soil samples as part of the house tour? I think this image carries a lot of hypotheticals about the future.
