Default Local knowledge

After browsing the threads, I noticed that many people are looking for info about the cities they are planning to go to, best, worst suburbs etc. Would it be possible to set up a map page or just a page for state capitals for each country with q&a about suburbs attached? People could then recommend (or warn) others re schools, housing, shops, medical, transport etc.
Don't know if this is feasible as I'm a computer newbie

That sounds like it would take a lot of time to compile. There are so many cities in the world. And, then each of them has a bunch of suburbs around them.

You know , in all honesty , cities , suburbs , etc are all very good points of interest , what tourists etc need to actually know are things like safety , cost of living , places of interest , crime as it affects foriegners , attitude of the populace , food and health problems , diseases , infections , climate , cleanliness , police protection and awareness , Embassy cooperation in times of extreme emergencie , etc etc . thats a compilation i would like to see .
