[OSM-newbies] Abutters / Landuse

[Gregory Williams]

Ooops, what I meant to say was you don't need to use
abutters=residential with highway=residential. landuse=residential
should be used when you know how far back the residential goes;
abutters=residential just assumes a close proximity to the road.
