On squaring buildings, no one has yet been explained why buildings should
be square.  My understanding is that non-square buildings are a warning
sign for mapathons with hand-traced buildings - the lack of squaring is
often noticeable for hand-traced buildings, and indicative of generally
poor building footprints. That doesn't apply here, since the buildings
involved are not hand-traced (at least in Toronto).  In fact, the imported
footprints are generally extremely accurate, much better than would (or
could) be done by hand.

It seems like the automated verification tool (of checking whether
buildings are square or not) is being misapplied in this case.
