[Imports] MassGIS building import - update 1

Hi,

The following towns were imported this weekend that were previously mostly
devoid of structures.

Abington, Acton, Acushnet, Alford, Arlington, Ashfield, Auburn, Avon,
Dunstable, Harwich, Leyden, Littleton, Mattapoisett, Millville, Mount
Washington, Nahant, Newburyport, Truro, and Westhampton.

The following towns were imported, but had many existing structures, so
most of the structures are not from this import.

Chelsea, Groton, Malden

The import has finished 6% of the state.

Provincetown was not aligned well and was not imported, everything is
shifted by 4 meters. The bing images looks OK, they align well with the
MassDOT roads. I sent an email to MassGIS about it.

Otherwise, just very small problems. Things like schools missing building
tag, so it gets double imported and bleachers, tents, and storage
containers getting imported. I have cleaned up afterwards all of the errors
that I noticed while importing.

Unfortunately, because of Provincetown, I don't think we can do a full
blown automated import. Each town will need to at least get checked for
alignment first.

We are going to take a break from the import for a bit to give everybody
time to look at the data and see if there are any additional issues.

Thanks
Jason.
