Allow for swapping between district and Census polygon layers #27

Closed critzo closed 9 years ago

critzo commented 9 years ago

Seattle would like two options for polygon layers:

Add the ability to toggle between the shapefile for both of the above, defaulting to census block group

Past conversation from piecewise repo issue:

nkinkade: This is a nice feature, generally, but are you sure that Seattle actually wants this? My understanding is that they wanted to stay away from aggregating by council districts because it was potentially too politically charged.

critzo: In our last conversation with them, they would like the ability to toggle between census block groups and council districts.

For this issue, let's confirm that piecewise is aggregating both and providing the data. I'm going to put the UI components of this issue to bq2geojson.

Now nkinkade says:

We should verify this with Bruce before we work on this. I distinctly recall Bruce saying that council districts were too politically charged for them to use, and that was one of the reasons why census block groups were preferred. This last call did not include Bruce, and I'm not sure that Neil had/has all the information Bruce is working with.

I sent a note to the Seattle folks asking to confirm their needs on this feature.

critzo commented 9 years ago

Seattle folks have confirmed that having both layers available is ideal.

nkinkade commented 9 years ago

Okay, I'll get this implemented.
