Combining house numbers would make it ambiguous which units belong to which house number.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I could choose to do something like detect when it would or would not be ambiguous, and combine when it isn't, but even if I did, it could also potentially complicate doing updates to the data in the future, when I get around to implementing that. In my experience, it also has the problem of being less searchable in OSM search engines, and end-user navigation apps when a user tries to search for that house number. By comparison, the `addr:flats` tag has always had the explicit purpose of storing multiple units, but I do not believe the practice of combining house numbers in the `addr:housenumber` tag is as widespread, especially among downstream data consumers.<br></div><div><br></div><div>--<br></div><div>Skyler<br></div><div><br></div><div>Feb 22, 2021 13:36:26 Jack Arnold via Imports <<a href="mailto:imports@openstreetmap.org">imports@openstreetmap.org</a>>:<br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><br></div><div>Hi Skyler,<br></div><div><br></div><div>562889 addresses and counting is amazing!
