It's probably worth pointing out that the tiles Craigslist is using are
pretty out of date. For example, they don't show the buildings in Chicago
that were imported a couple of months ago. Hopefully Craigslist users won't
get too frustrated when the problems they point out don't appear to be
fixed immediately.
