[HOT] Question just to be sure.. Residential landuse areas should have at least 20 buildings?

[Stéphane Henriod]

Hi Tom

I don't know if this is correct but this is what I've been doing too. I
assumed that some of those areas had been mapped during the first pass and
were meant to roughly indicate the residential areas. So, as soon as we map
the more detailed buildings, the "landuse:residential" are no longer needed.

Cheers

Stéphane
