Why wasn’t this map done using $/sq ft?

Good idea, but that data is not publically avaliable on the Open Data Catalogue. We would have done an internal calculation using our GIS software, but we’ve encountered area anomality with map projections to which we did not want to create erronous calculations. We prefer to work with area calculations produced by the data source especially at this scale and number of cases.
Assuming if square footage was avaliable: would you be talking about the overall property, land, or house by the square foot? In any fashion, it would be an interesting series of maps as towards understand why some properties are more expensive than others. (See the comments of Bill Lee on the blog).
Of course, this could be more academic as one typically purchases residential property units as a predetermined whole as opposed to property by the square foot. ^AY
