Could you build this?
Partial The web portal, GIS map viewer, and search interfaces are straightforward to vibe-code, but ingesting and monitoring zoning ordinances, town hall minutes, and regulatory changes across 3,000+ US counties requires massive data pipeline infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The system requires a distributed crawling and scraping mesh (Playwright, Scrapy, distributed proxies) targeting thousands of fragmented county, municipal, and regional government portals, coupled with document parsers (OCR, multimodal LLMs) to interpret PDF agendas, meeting minutes, and GIS shapefiles. The hardest engineering challenges are automated pipeline resilience against idiosyncratic county website formats, audio/video transcription of municipal public hearings, and parcel-level zoning mapping. Developing this demands dedicated data engineering resources and GIS expertise.
