I wouldn't exactly call it a special case - many cities are coextensive with counties, and (I believe) New York City and New York County were the same until 1874. Then NYC began expanding by taking over unincorporated and incorporated areas, and its boundaries now happen to lie along county lines. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
