Pieren - thanks for pointing out that "area=yes" is highway only. How could the documentation for it be clearer [1]? Seems to me then that starting to use a value "block" for the "place" [2] key would be an appropriate solution. Examples: So for a block QNB12 in Brasilia, the tagging would be

I see your point. While Brasilia has indeed in many places single purpose blocks, this is likely not the case in all cities. However, place=neighbourhood is misleading as there are many blocks in a neighbourhood. I'm liking the `area=yes` as seen in Mannheim [1] better than `place=neighbourhoo

I think I've seen the addr:block proposal (what's the link?) My understanding is that addr: fields would be attached to entities that are actually being addressed, i. e. buildings. Is this correct? That said. addr:block would indeed be useful for addresses on buildings in Brasilia. On Apr 24,

What do they do in Japan? Japan has a block-oriented addressing system. I don't know how this is implemented in OSM, but maybe it can be used in Brasilia. Best wishes, Andrew ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstree

On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 12:56 AM, Alex Barth We had a similar discussion from a contributor working in Peru and their "cuadra" system. My proposal was to create a new tag "addr:block" (+ a name or a number) which could be attached on a parallel way along the street (like the addr:interpolation). B

Hi all, A very simple indication whether a shop sells second hand items too. Please place your votes. Someone already created a final page for it, with different wording, so please let's also re-vote on the value "second_hand=yes", despite that my page really reflects what we discussed: no "yes"
