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

[Skyler Hawthorne]

So it turns out the issue for the missing addresses was simple/dumb: one of my osc part files failed on upload because of a conflict, and I missed it 😟 but fortunately, I've been archiving the osc and diff.xml files for just this purpose, which is how I noticed one of the parts was missing a diff.xml. This area now has all the addresses filled in.

I'm still not sure why there are those points that did not get conflated with the buildings when there is only one. I will continue to dig and see if I can figure it out.
