It makes sense, adds detail - improves the map data base.
True.
The one that irks me is amenity=cafe. It isn't there for the benefit
of the community; it is a commercial enterprise & should be tagged as
a shop.
+1
The same can be said for a pub, restaurant, etc.
They are all commercial enterprises, if they did not make money they
would not exist.
There 'service' to the community is there to help them make money.
Although one of the descriptions that an estate agent will use when describing
a property is close to the amenities. The big 4 Ps that are used to describe
the amenities that make a village sustainable are Primary School, Parish
Church, Post Office and Pub.
Bank, Supermarket, Post Office, Doctor, garage and pub. ... Church? Not a
frequent requirement.
Once any go, then the community is dieing. The pub is a major amenity, that is
why communities will club together to operate and keep the pub open.
So it may be a business, but it is also one of the prime amenities.
The supermarket is also a sign of a healthy community. Once the last one of
them goes it is all down hill from there.
Communities have drawn together to keep a bank, a supermarket and a garage
going locally. They have also drawn together to keep a doctor.
They don't draw together for a church.
