I've been doing some California landuse and have come across a lot of landuse=residential imported from FMMP which is clearly wrong. The landuse=residential covers entire cities, including commercial, industrial, retail, parks, schools, golf courses, airports, and pretty much anything within city limits.
It's hard to be certain because whatever was done doesn't match the documentation at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/California_Farms but it appears that data corresponding to any urban area was imported as landuse=residential. Given that this is a systemic problem with this imported data and the problem originates with the import conversion, I think the best approach to fix it is a mechanical edit. Given that the data is 1.5 years old without being cleaned up, I believe it is the best option. To this end, I propose removing v1 imported ways/multipolygons from FMMP with FMMP_modified=no, FMMP_reviewed=no, landuse=residential, and either description=other land or description=urban land, starting with ways > about 500 000 square Mercator meters (exact value subject to change). This would be about 750 areas. There are about 3000 smaller areas that would need dealing with later, but it'd be nice to get the large hard to edit ones cleaned up first. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
