[Imports] Fixing large number of mistagged buildings near Boulder Colorado, US

[Clifford Snow]

That's a lot of mis-tagged objects.

I would recommend first contacting the original mapper to see if they want
to correct the error. If that doesn't work you could do the work using JOSM
or write a automated edit script. The guidelines for automated scripts can
be found on the wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_edits
with the code of conduct for automated edits at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct

Using JOSM should be fairly easy, although not quick with almost 8,000
buildings.

Good luck,
Clifford
