Partial The map-based property browsing interface is simple to vibe-code, but the underlying data requires spatial GIS analysis intersecting proprietary real estate parcel boundaries with federal land shapefiles.
What it would actually take: Building Unfenced requires setting up a PostGIS database to run complex polygon intersection and boundary measurement queries against the massive USGS PAD-US dataset. It also requires commercial licensing for nationwide parcel boundary geometry and active MLS listings (e.g., via Realie or Regrid), along with an automated spatial ETL pipeline.
