I'm sure there are other examples i think Kenny oversimplified the NY situation. where i live in New York, i reside in the Town of Sand Lake. my mail is delivered out of the Averill Park post office. my daughter went to school in the Averill Park School District. but none of these entities (the town, postal delivery area and school district) even remotely share boundaries, nor do the postal delivery area and school district actually share a boundary with each other or the hamlet of Averill Park.
we can have other kinds of boundaries besides administrative ones, but right now everybody is trying to jam everything into the admin_level system. i think we're approaching it the wrong way. why not boundary=fire_district boundary=school_district and break a couple of these things out. as for adminstrative boundaries and admin_level, we're just going to have to go state by state, and in NY at least, recognize that NYC is a very different creature from the rest of the state. richard -- rwe...@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
