Wait, why? What's wrong with asking what value is there in doing this? This is supposed to be where the conversation starts: "[this list] is for tag discussion, strategy and related tools." Is it strategic to have a Zone which does not convey information or have value in OSM? Is this a place to ask what value people are currently getting from these zones? While I value your contributions on the wiki, I feel like you're talking past me: what value is there in Commercial, Residential, and Industrial zones? To direct quote what I said earlier, * If there is one Commercial Building in an unnamed Commercial Zone: what value is there for a user? * If there are two Commercial Buildings in an unnamed Commercial Zone: what value is there for a user? * If there are 20 Commercial Buildings in an unnamed Commercial Zone: what value is there for a user? Likewise, if there are violations inside the zone and they're not homogenous how does that affect the value? > For example, a post office would have the landuse <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse>=commercial <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dcommercial> tag, because they offer a service, rather than a good. However, if the post office is in a shopping centre with 8 other shops, this tag would be used. So it's permitted to have a "Commercial" Post Office in a retail zone, and it's permitted to make the zones infinitely small. So a retail zone may include a neighboring post office, or you could voluntarily break the post office off into a zone by itself? I just don't understand how people intend to use these. But feel free to talk about _any_ of the ways listed in my OT and tell me how they benefit OSM. I just want to know why they're valuable. Likewise, > For "Mixed-Use" areas where more than half of the land is residential, tag as residential. How is knowing "more than half" of the land is residential useful to a user when without the zone they would otherwise know _exactly_ what is residential, commercial, and industrial. -- In the event this email pertains to Real Estate, Texas law <https://texreg.sos.state.tx.us/public/readtac$ext.TacPage?sl=R&app=9&p_dir=&p_rloc=&p_tloc=&p_ploc=&pg=1&p_tac=&ti=22&pt=23&ch=531&rl=20> requires all license holders provide to prospective clients the following forms: Information About Brokerage Services <http://docs.evancarroll.com/realestate/iabs.pdf>, Consumer Protection Notice <https://www.trec.texas.gov/sites/default/files/pdf-forms/CN%201-2.pdf>.
