Hello OpenStreetMap folks, TL;DR: import wiki page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Bos ton_Street_Address_Management_%28SAM%29_Import Boston, Massachusetts is relatively well mapped, however the buildings usually lack addr:housenumber and addr:street tags. Since the city is not built on a grid-based design, the streets can wander around making finding the right house with OpenStreetMap a challenge. City of Boston provides a sizable amount of data via Open Government initiative. One of the things available freely is a Live Street Address Management (SAM) dataset[1] that identifies the location of the buildings on the map. We can use that. As requested by Guidelines[2], I am writing to imports@ and talk-us@ to discuss the outlined import procedure for the data. I will be driving the generation, upload, and validation. The wiki page contains the data on all the neighborhoods (sans 2 that for some reason did not create a polygon - I'm investigating that), so you can load it locally and see what's going to happen. Please do not upload these changes. My username is 'ryebread' on OSM, User:Rye on OSM Wiki.
