Any hints on how to set a population level? I see New York hanging out
there at a large area zoom, but it runs away into the noise. I found
it when zoomed way in, but it just has a couple is_in tags. Must not
be the same node you're talking about.
Edmonton has a population tag, with a value of 720,000 or so. Still
gets overwritten by Spruce Grove with a population tag of 18,405.
