Hi,
Was just thinking whether it would be worth us (as in OSM UK) resurrecting the
'missing paths for 2026' project?
A quick reminder - we have until 2026 to record historical rights of way which
have fallen out of use in recent times, and the combination of OSM, council
data and historical

Common issue was that traced geometry was sometimes utterly unrelated to
geometry of object on the ground.
Unsquared check is

Squaring to the grid is something you could only reasonably do for

I'm sure that in one of the SotM talks someone mentioned that there are no
right-angled buildings in New York City (or at least downtown Manhattan).
I'll see if I can find the relevant talk.
The general issue is really one of poorly mapped buildings, for which
non-squaring is just a proxy
Most buildings have square edges*. I know, i know! Some dont, but most do. In
many areas, the buildings were built to the same size and shape, so if they’re
squared, they’re easily replicated, especially looking how dense new housing
estates are. Detached house but so close together you cannot

Was thinking about squared buildings whilst in my local high street a while

There wasn't one in
