that's gratuitously insulting, pigeon holing without information, and wrong.

/me may be violating rule against responding to trolls, but in case
others are confused by rash assertions.

The MassGIS dataset is very good for having names for thing that have
them, and has quite a few private ways that are included because they
were involved in some planning process, which have none of the
standard data for public ways. seeing which tags it has and has not
tells me something of the pre-import history of the record and the
Yahoo imagery shows me what building it goes behind.
