Re: [Talk-us] California is too big :)
Hi OSM US List - California native and current resident here -- while implementing California urban planning analysis a few years ago, we used a grouping based on the transportation governance here. The grouping is shown graphically in a blog post [0] CA Landuse is governed at the county level, with associations of counties for regional planning (water, public transportation). So the groups are by county, without a doubt. Intuitively, large metro areas are one group each - Sacramento area, San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles. San Diego county stands alone. The remainder of the state has so few people, that very large areas are just one group each - Central Coast, Sierras, Northern California (vast). This might be a guide for some future OSM extracts.. County details on request.

Re: [Talk-us] TIGER place confusion
Hi All - while learning about the US Census a few years ago, I found a slide set (pdf) called Understanding Place by Michael Ratcliffe. Geography Division of the US Census Bureau .. maybe something in that talk would shed light here.. I have a copy and can send it on request... probably findable on the open net. best regards from Berkeley -- Brian M Hamlin OSGeo California blog.light42.com ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] Building Footprints in CA
Hi All - I have been working with 2D building footprints from LA and other counties here in Berkeley on a research project, using a PostGIS/GDAL stack and a libosimum tool, among others.. The project is broadly named "California OpenData ECN" .. I am committed to an open data process. Not much more to say at this moment, but I am reading this and want to contribute in some way, when thats possible. cheers -- Brian M Hamlin OSGeo California Chapter blog.light42.com ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
