I had a comment from Dasha on yesterday's post, mentioning that many of the Bay Area's residents don't walk much, and that a more appropriate site is Drivescore, which has a similar setup to Walkspot, but it shows a map of establishments in your neighborhood and calculates a Drive Score based on the number of places within a convenient driving distance.
Two other sites that might prove useful were sent to me by a Washington Mutual lender I know.
Optout will help improve your credit scores in as little as 30-45 days free with very simple steps. Very few people realize that under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Consumer Credit Reporting Companies are permitted to include your name on lists used by creditors or insurers to make firm offers of credit or insurance that are not initiated by you. This website will help you to stop them.
The other link, Implode, is a list of all lenders that are in risk of closing their doors. If you have a pre approval you may want to be sure they are not on this list and/or ask them how this affects your pre approval. Most to the companies are wholesale brokers and not direct lenders.
