[Tagging] About new landuses and superiority of cascading tag schemes

[johnw]

@ martin - 

In Japan, the "neighborhood" industrial shops are really common, especially here in car parts land Gunma (Home of Subaru, Mitsuba and Ogura). We're talking two guys in a garage running (truly) industrial metal stamping machines to make simple brackets or whatnot for cars. Tokyo's rebirth after world war II is due to this lack of zoning regulation. It continues to this day - The cities around me are full of tiny industrial plants the size of a house, buried in neighborhoods and commercial areas alike.

Check it out on street view.

Every day as I bike down that street, the constant "Ka-chunk" of the stamper and the recycle boxes out front full of punched sheets of steel remind me that industrial production can be a a very small scale.  the owner's house is on the plot behind it. 

Surely metal press cutting hundreds of thousands of pieces of steel for car production is industry, right? 


@ Martin & Mateusz -

But what if we separate the pool from the landuse? make it a water feature (because it is usually briney seawater at first), and place it in the landuse the tagger feels is appropriate? Industrial for a large plant, a farm field (or comemrical?) for a little one? 

A small artisanal shop for glass finery isn't the same as a windshield production plant - thought they both use glass furnaces.  One certainly is commercial/retail, and one certainly is industrial. 

Maybe we should separate the production method from the intended landuse.
