Open Data for Machine Learning

In recent years as an exercise of transparency governments and city councils create open data portals where the authorities push a lot of data to be freely accessible to citizens. Nowadays is easy to find a dataset of almost everything, in a few clicks you can find, as for instance datasets related to territory (parking spaces of a city), population (Level of education), governance (electoral results)...
