A short question of a lengthy response: What is the history behind that definition of 'suburb'? Is it a result of the term being used that way in UK/Europe/elsewhere? Seems like an odd usage, since "suburbs" have had a very clear definition in the United States for decades now, and it has nothing

I would argue that maps can only show the world as the mapmaker wants it to be shown, and OSM should probably not be encouraging people (in any way) to be visiting sites that are clearly marked as illegal to visit. This seems like a bad precedent to set. I would include the bunker but not mark it

When I hear “clinic” in reference to a healthcare facility, I think of “urgent care” clinics, and I think there are about six urgent care clinics within a 20 minute drive of my local hospital. These are usually staffed with nurses and Physicians Assistants rather than MDs. It’s pretty common in

The only clear definition that has come across this list is whether the rooms open to the outdoors or to a hallway. All of the others are way too subjective to be useful to anyone trying to decide how to tag it. -- Brian > ___ > Talk-us mailing list >

As someone who does research with Census data, it would be helpful to keep all Census geographies in place (at least until Census decides to get rid of them). Someone will use them at some point. Additionally, they're an official component of Census geographies, as bureaucratic as that might be.

Wow. I think it at least merits a discussion. Yes, it's a political decision but not so ridiculous as to dismiss it as part of a feminist plot. I would also point out that using a gender-specific term like "man" does more to maintain division than anything else. -- Brian On Mar 10, 2017 4:38

Automated nationwide mapping seems like it would introduce more problems than it would solve. If maps are intended to represent the truth on the ground, then the only way to create a useful map is by reporting what is actually there rather than making assumptions. A map that is inaccurate because
