One OSM commenter suggested that the best thing for the map was an import,
Import some German mappers they suggested. That isn't wrong, but in some
places it might be historically provocative. :-)
About 18 months ago I posted this Mappy Hour HOWTO.
I am generally opposed to importation of parcel data at the individual parcel level. This goes _directly_ to the design of OSM with a non-layered data model and the resultant massive increase in rendered data density.However, there is much information in local GIS datastores about subdivision and

I have been pondering the use of the admin_level key in the USA, and
have come to the realization that while values 2, 4, 6
{{key|border_type}} is described as an alternative and sometimes complement to
{{key|admin_level}} . I have recently been drawing subdivision boundaries

I am interested in what tagging you would suggest to indicate that a stretch of

The amenity tag is way too overloaded to the point where it is pretty
useless. It might as well be thing instead of amenity. Do not use it
for new things. Why not just make a new tag like
