The (Tiger-imported) data from San Francisco has been removed along with
all duplicates, but about the topic: this might make sense, but you
might conceal errors until others are fixed, and the one working on the
area would wonder why there suddenly are errors, so it's not quite clear
or transparent when an error will be shown or not.

To my knowledge the San Francisco area is (was!) the only one with such
a huge memory footprint when rendering.
