[Talk-us-massachusetts] Address Review: Wellfleet & import concerns

[Yury Yatsynovich]

Great job, Alan!
As for buildings shape files by towns -- there is a link on a MassGIS
web-page (
https://docs.digital.mass.gov/dataset/massgis-data-building-structures-2-d),
which says Download from a spreadsheet of links
<https://massdocs-digital-mass-gov.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/2018/Download_Structures.xls?q7bmrLGQ_vNZgLU.UeEK9uNY9eImdquU>,
which, in turn, contains a list of links to zip-archives with shp-files for
each town.

Jason,
I've finished running the code for case insensitive matches. The resulting
files are here:
https://mega.nz/#F!WpNVgIbC!qawOdwJK_7ZPjS6X0ReoIA
Besides stricter matching, those files also contain "Status"
(active/inactive, etc.), "Point type" (building centroid, parcel, etc.) and
"Address_ID" (instead of "OBJECT_ID" -- as far as I understand, "OBJECT_ID"
is generated in the MAD shp-file automatically from the row index, hence,
if MAD changes values of "OBJECT_ID" might change as well). I'd suggest
that we use "Address_ID" for identifying bad MassGIS address points.

One additional observation: I've recently encountered addresses in Melrose
where it looks like addr:street and street signs mismatch (here is a brief
discussion: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/36473872). So, does it
mean that some discrepancies between MAD and OSM may not need any
corrections (as MAD reports addresses from documents, while OSM -- names
from street signs)?..
