The same exact issues we found last time we had a meeting and talked about this. The issues are: 1. Geometry validation errors 2. Buildings which are obviously missing from the data but appear in the imagery 3. Buildings which have incorrect geometry based in the NYC data based on the imagery 4. Addresses which look "odd" and need further investigation As we discussed just two weeks ago- I can complain about these issues one by one, but that clearly doesn't address the problem, because the errors keep happening from the same users. We've consistently improved where I got concrete feedback [1]. As just > discussed on IM, just concrete examples (w/ changeset, link to osm.org) > of what you're finding so far would be great.
