This is really impressive! With Canada’s housing prices skyrocketing, this dataset seems incredibly useful. I’m not in this field myself, so I can’t directly make use of it, but it definitely looks like it has a lot of potential. That said, given the massive scale, I can’t help but wonder how sustainable the maintenance will be.
