[Imports] [Imports-us] [Talk-us-newyork] Update: New York State GIS SAM Address Points Import

[Jack Arnold]

I pulled "Elmwood Village Area" off one of the building tags. Its not
only in that area. Here are coordinates to areas I found where
buildings are well mapped but little or no addresses were imported:

42.9479,-78.8571
42.9251,-78.8859
42.9488,-78.8242
