<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thanks for the response Yury. The link
I had included for the MSAG (Master Street Address Guide)
Communities had a download link for the MSAG map:</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If you examine the 11 towns on that map
that have the MSAG sub-units, it includes the official borders of
these sub-communities. These could be snipped out and incorporated
into the OSM map. In reading over the MassGIS descriptions I
believe it said that in that in these 11 communities a valid
address would need to include the name of the "Community"<br>

<div>Hi Wayne,</div>
<div>below are my opinions/responses??to your questions??</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>>>> 1. Should we incorporate these MSAG
boundaries into OSM as admin level 9??</div>
<div>or 10 boundaries?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not sure. Western Mass doesn't have counties as
admin_level 6 because, as the note says, that "there is
effectively no county-level government here". So, by the
same token, those "villages" also barely have
administrations, I guess. Besides, do these villages have
officially recognized/recorded borders that could be
imported?</div>
<div>My suggestion would be to include addr:suburb for the
cases when two or more identical addresses exist within a
city</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
With kind regards,??<br>
