I map buildings with the bulding_tools plugin and it would take considerably longer if I looked for a better tag for each building I map, and retag every tagged building=yes, so for that reason I almost never use any other value. If you want to map towns of 20-50 000 inhabitants, or larger rural ar

Hi, I have a problem with the usage values other yes in key building. It seems to me that this any other usage of building=yes (for area type) is almost purely redundant. When looking at taginfo [1], building has following three top most key usages: yes 119260798 85% house 11592812 8% residentia
