Thanks for another TIGER tool. I used it to look at some areas and made changes. The map reminds me of another map that MapBox produced several years ago using a slider tool. Useful features: * Timely updates. The old slider map was never updated and lost value after a couple of edits. Oh! I see that my edits showed up. The problem is how do you remove the yellow TIGER data? * iD, Potlach, JOSM, remote control features. Interesting problems: * The Census staff got the news of "sub-prime rate" subdivisions. These were plated but are still farmland. It is too early to try and map the subdivision. * I added a "sub-prime rate" subdivision that had the grading in place with construction tags. The existing Tiger layers provided the names. * I found some areas that had explosive growth. I recall adding the areas because of interesting buildings, etc. The TIGER data still shows roads that have been removed via new development. For example a new commercial area has yellow TIGER roads going through a building. * The false positives that I saw were related to "new construction"--well it is several years old now. An area was developed. All the existing roads were removed and folded into the new development. The yellow lines remaining were, say, between the secondary road and the first road of the subdivision. The yellow road may have been the original alignment of the secondary or possibly a farm road. HTH, Greg
