<div dir="ltr">I am in favor of the creation of a tool for generating files which can
be opened in JOSM and added to OSM as local or motivated individuals see
fit, to only add new non-conflated buildings but not modify or

I'm not in favor of any such import being performed in the local areas I
work in (US West Coast) because our local governments often have
superior building footprint data available. In my opinion every building
imported from Bing is a building that needs to get fixed eventually
because Bing's quality is so poor. Other areas may not be so fortunate
and they can make their own decisions.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jul 22, 2022 at 5:26 AM Greg Troxel <<a href="mailto:gdt@lexort.com">gdt@lexort.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>

2014 seems like an eternity ago. As a data point, in Massachusetts we<br>
have high-quality imagery from roughly April 1, 2021 (color, 15 cm, leaf<br>
off).<br>
