NJ Transit is much worse than all other commuter rails in the NYC area. @agordon.me and @suryamattu.com collected and analyzed many weeks of transit feeds to quantify how bad (and it includes angry emojis).

Zillow users will soon see a “climate risk” rating for each home.
The ratings are potentially a big deal and could shape buying decisions.
But are they accurate? And if not, how should home buyers think about climate risk?
