 We need addresses if we want to have usable data for routing programs.  The
 addresses file has them in point format.  The city lots file also has
 addresses or address ranges for each parcel.  Has anybody done imports of
 similar address data?  If so, did you keep it in a point format or convert
 it into the parallel ways format?

The parallel ways is an approximation of the address points, so if you
have the points, use them IMO.  I've imported some of both in Europe,
but I surveyed some addresses in San Francisco too and put them on the
buildings where possible.

Cheers

 San Francisco has a website at datasf.org that has a lot of good geodata on 
 it.  The current licence isn't acceptable for using any of the data but they 
 might be willing to give us permission to use it.
 
 Some of the datasets that I thought were interesting were city lots, 
 addresses, neighborhoods, landuse, public lands, street centerlines, speed 
 limits and the bike network.

I've worked with those centerlines, and I think that they are the same file 
that the county provided to TIGER last time around which was already imported 
into OSM a few years back. It's already been very well improved upon.

HOWEVER, the address points data file is fully legit and I have a lot of 
personal experience working with it and OSM together. Nothing public so far but 
I'd be willing to chat about it here if I can remember the code I wrote last 
year. =)
