[Talk-us-massachusetts] Large Apartment Buildings

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

Both good ideas. I split the list and added a node on the building with the
extra numbers.
I want our import script to handle these big buildings. I like the ";"
because each address is explicit.
I've found problems with the range like 106-108 that's been used a lot in
OSM it could be inferred that there is a 107.

I've been downloading town massgis addresspt files
<https://docs.digital.mass.gov/dataset/massgis-data-master-address-data-basic-address-points>
and bumping them LibreOffice Calc against files I create with
https://overpass-turbo.eu/ using this csv output script

[out:csv("addr:housenumber","addr:street")];
{{geocodeArea:Malden,Massachusetts}}->.searchArea;
(way["addr:street"](area.searchArea);
 );
out;

I use the vlookup function to find the address that are in both files. Then
I try to find out why there are miss matches.
