Hello, thank you for your additions to the map. Could you make future changesets smaller so it's easier to see what is being changed? Thanks

This looks like an undiscussed mechanical edit. All kind of buildings have been "squared", also T-shaped and L-shaped buildings which are currently represented by 4-corner-polygons. Or buildings with a lot of protruding geometries: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/589638244

"squared" is probably the wrong word for this - iD let's users "square" buildings by taking almost 90° angles and making them 90°. Complex shapes aren't just turned into 4 nodes squares. If a T shaped building is now a square shape, it's because it wasn&#...

♦836
I didn't write T-shaped buildings were now squared, what I meant was that a rectangle with perfect 90° angles is generally not a better representation for a T, an L or any other polygonal shape than the approximate building outlines that have been there before, arguably some will be worst a...

♦836
I also believe the "squaring" creates another kind of problems:
1. by using a threshold for squaring, those buildings that haven't been squared are now standing out and it may look as if they are actually like this (e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/589667129 ),
2. By squaring ...
52019-05-16 13:23bhousel Hi dieterdriest - it is not an undiscussed mechanical edit. I visually reviewed all the buildings while scrolling around in iD and used the new square building validator to fix them.

Squaring multiple items is a capability that JOSM users have enjoyed for a long time, so it's great that iD ...

♦836
Hello bhousel, thank you for replying, and yes, I completely agree that squaring is also in Josm a feature that has the exact same problems (btw, not the building mode, where you can select a road or 2 nodes and the new elements will be aligned to it - overrule with shift).
A super day for you as w...

It should be "destroyed:highway", as it's a lifecycle *prefix*, shouldn't it?

Hello,
please stop editing in this area!
As I can see, you are not a regional mapper.
If you will help, you can comment tagging in the node here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/1489296
thanks
32018-08-14 16:47bhousel ok fine luschi, you fix it then. 😠

I will not editing anything without contacting a local mapper.
Your angry smiley does not help either

Hello! I see a indoor mapping, but I didn't see the building?!
22018-05-28 17:19bhousel Yeah, a new user had mapped the indoor corridors as `highway=path`, so I left a comment, changed them to `corridor`, and added a few more things around there. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/59213786#map=19/40.69485/-74.54616

hey Bryan,

Thanks for mapping these houses!

I may be at SOTM-US this year and may see you then.

If you have any questions about the map in Cleveland, feel free to reach out!

Regards,
Will in Cleveland
22018-04-08 21:23bhousel Hey Will! Yes we will definitely have to catch up in Detroit! I am testing a new feature for iD and hope to release this in the next few days ;-) The save confirmation screen will be able to show some info about local communities and meetups:

Hey, I noticed that you changed a lot of crossing=* to crossing=zebra, but according to the wiki, this isn't a standard tagging scheme. It appears it's a commonly used tag, but while I think it might be fine changing =uncontrolled to it, I think changing =traffic_signals to =zebra removes ...
22017-02-25 19:15bhousel Hi pkoby, this is one of those situations where I think the wiki gives poor guidance. The junction node between a crosswalk and the road exists so that vehicular traffic can know that there is a crossing there. The stripes on the ground are a 'control device' so calling marked crosswalks...

♦110
Your reasoning makes a lot of sense. In my way of thinking, zebra stripes are uncontrolled in the sense that they aren't unmarked and don't have signals. But taginfo shows crossing=zebra to be one of the most common, so I'm going to say it seems like a good strategy.

Yes, I suppose...
