'Ghetto Tracker,' App That Helps Rich Avoid Poor, Is As Bad As It Sounds
In less than 24 hours, a new app tactfully titled Ghetto Tracker--a service seeking to help people identify safe areas in unfamiliar cities--has already garnered enough backlash to prompt an immediate name change to Good Part of Town.
According to The Week, the original launch of the page featured a white family of four smiling alongside the app's promise to show users "which parts of town are safe and which ones are ghetto, or unsafe."

Completely worthless...240 is right when he said there is no safe place anywhere. Watch you back at all times anywhere...don't depend on a fucking computer or phone app to do it

I like city data . Coms map overlays , you can put in percentage of people who speak only Spanish, percentage born outside the us and the crime stats to get a great idea of where not to rent here in California

Good, it was awkward as fuck when me, Dennis Wolf and Markus Ruhl ended up in Compton.
Luckily Wiggs was there to vouch for us.

Going to be even funnier in 10 years when all the idiots that uploaded all their info on Facebook are facially recognised by google contact lenses while walking down the street, and the lenses do a background check and give a red signal for avoid.
