After discussing it on IRC, how does this sound as a potential
for a proposal:
A new tag called residential, where the value specifies the type of
residential, such as:
residential=apartment
residential=condo
residential=co-op
residential=single_room_occupancy
(these would be open for refinement and addition of course).
Then a user could tag the apartments with all the normal tags one
would expect- name, addr:*, phone, website, etc.
Sorry for the delay in responding to everyone. Must have been from all
the excitement of SOTMUS.
I think Serge has proposed the best solution. I also live in a
multistory building with retail and offices below. I had been tagging
them amenity=apartment, but will switch them to residential=apartment.
I build a proposal for a new tag which I'll announce shortly. It will
give a chance for a more formal discussion.
Do bear in mind that residential apartments are often called 'flats' in
British English, and there is a documented tag addr:flats to record the
number(s) of the flats within a block.
