[Imports] RFC: LA County building import (Los Angeles, California, USA)

[maning sambale]

Hi Christoph,

>  On the whole the plan looks solid but it seems somewhat vague in some
parts to me at this time:
> - there is no information on tagging
> -  there is no assessment of the geometric accuracy of the source data
> - there does not seem to be any abstract specification coming with the
source data - it would be important to know if it complies with
established OSM practice of building mapping, in particular w.r.t. what
constitutes a single building and when there are two separate buildings
and possibly building:part.
> - it would be important to know what age and accuracy available image
data sources have for the area of the import.

Most of the discussions wee in github tickets, we will transfer the
summary in the wiki: https://github.com/osmlab/labuildings/issues/35

> There are also some previous building imports in the area - like: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/360076675/history

Thanks for flagging this, I'm looking into this now:
https://github.com/osmlab/labuildings/issues/53

> It would be a good idea to include cleanup of these with the import
plan.

Yes!
