I agree that we needed and still need a way to clean up all the remaining untouched TIGER data. However, without the TIGER import, the same 11-12 years would have been spent surveying and naming the roads one by one and tracing them from (sometimes outdated) satellite/aerial photos and we would probably still be way behind where we are with the TIGER import. If it had been on me to trace my neighborhood from a blank slate when I first started mapping, I might well have given up on OSM at that point. -- Shawn K.
