Don't forget that this is in the center of a large city, where details of a building are really interesting. To give another estimation that this won't impact the database performance: any of these buildings has less nodes than employees are employed in it or persons living in it. So, we still probably won't get more that 2*60 million nodes. Compared to 300 million nodes that exist already, it is not too much. And even better: most parts of the database are organised spatially. So you won't be affected more than a degree of latitude or longitude outside France no matter how much nodes are added there.
