I sent Daniel a sample of Montreal (Outrement) from the Open Building Database and Daniel's algorithm performed really well. It could reduce the vertices count by 13% without loosing or even improving data quality (as it orthogonalized the buildings). Even difficult buildings were treated well

I think my concerns are to do with the "black box" approach.  Knowing your background I trust your work but others might not. On a technical side I get the impression that cites with buildings that are close to each other are problematical.  I assume that small locations with a population of
