Christoph,

Thank you for the observation.

Specific to "roads now intersect buildings indicating that mapping is
inaccurate - like here:"
They are mostly unreviewed TIGER import, I also saw one instance where
we have building but no roads.
This was already discussed by the import team and will be fixed during
the cleanup/validation stage.

Keep your  comments and suggestions coming! Will ticket each one and
fix whatever we can.
Thanks!
