Hello, I'm looking at mapping out HOAs in the Colorado Springs, CO area and I wasn't able to find any clear references to doing this.
Upon searching the archives I came across this posting < http://www.nabble.com/Bay-Area-trailer-parks%3A-%22hamlet%22---Also-neighborhoods---cities-td20740017.html#a20762773> about trailer parks, neighborhoods and hamlets. How does a HOA relate to a neighborhood? There is not always a 1:1 relation. For instance, near me in Colorado Springs there is a HOA called the "Organization of Westside Neighbors" that contains two neighborhoods; Pleasant Valley and Old Colorado City. How would one map a HOA? Maybe mark a HOA as a "boundary=administrative", "admin_level=10". Then the neighborhood gets marked as a hamlet. Another problem that I've noticed with boundaries of this sort is that you can't walk up to them on the ground with a GPS and map them. In some instances you can obtain data from the county, but what do people do when it is more vague? I know which houses are part of my HOA, should I just wing it? Lastly, the definition of where a neighborhood starts and ends can be vague at best and disputed depending on who you ask. Again, should I wing it, or just simplify the problem significantly and place a node instead of a polygon? Thanks in advance! -jason
