When someone adds copious "is_in" tags to things, or when they create
relations like "all cycleways in Cambridge", we tell them: Don't bother
doing that, we use a spatial database, and we can compute these things
from the data.

I'd say the same applies to houses. Whether something is one half of a
double house, or semi-detached, or terraced, or free-standing - isn't
that something that I can automatically determine by looking at the
nearby mapped buildings?

Or is the redundancy desirable so that we can then write new debugging
tools ("house at end of row but not tagged as semi-detached", etc?)

Bye
Frederik
