Perhaps things are different in Maryland, but I know the CDP boundaries near me are not "generally accepted" in any way. Lake Butler is a lake, not a neighborhood. The sign for Dr. Phillips is several miles south of south boundary of the CDP. Holden Heights is outside the CDP with that name. > > The original point was you wanted to find area which would be > negatively impacted by your proposal. People have shown you several > now.
People have shown me how they feel CDP boundaries are useful, for instance in mitigating the fact that Nominatim sucks. I will choose to ignore this for those CDPs where I have firsthand knowledge of their bogosity. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
