I would not do that without asking the original mapper or without having visited the location.  There might be a reason for it. Having many streets mapped as living_street seems a bit odd, but who knows, perhaps it is that really way? Remember: this is a collaborative project. Please respect what others have done, especially if you haven't been to the location. I think a city this type should never have all the streets as living_street, it is too different from the standard classification that it should have a note to justify the choice, and not done with changesets without comments or source, that's why I didn't bother too much in it being changed. But I do agree that it is always best to contact the original author and check. On another topic, some time ago we had a discussion about not mapping the urban area of the city as landuse=residential. I actually deleted a couple, especially in the state of São Paulo. Don't know if people want to revisit that. Just to let you know Andreas, as in the future me or someone else could delete those areas.. I agree not to map all urban areas as simply landuse=residential, especially because not all urban areas are residential, some are industrial and so on. I would prefer leaving landuse=residential for special uses. But again: I don't think we should delete  landuse=residential whenever we find it (I certainly do not) because it is not wrong either and there might be some legitimate reason for its existence which we may not be aware of. Again: this is a collaborative project, please ask first before deleting something.  The only exception to that rule, of course, is if it is an obvious error, say a landuse=residential where satellite images show only water. Most of the areas I removed and didn't contact the author were in cities that were not mapped or being mapped. At the time, I read that it was a pattern to trace the area until the city streets were mapped, and then remove the area. I may have done something wrong and I apologize for that, I'll be more careful in the future and contact more. Thanks for the alert. cheers Gerald _______________________________________________ Talk-br mailing list Talk-br@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-br Regards, Roger.
