[Talk-us-massachusetts] MA Address Points

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

I thought that adding addresses to buildings would be easy. However, each
address point contains the following 3 location fields.

There are 15 "GEOGRAPHIC" names: Barnstable, Bourne, Brewster, Chatham,
Dennis, Eastham, Falmouth, Harwich, Mashpee, Orleans, Provincetown,
Sandwich, Wellfleet, Truro & Yarmouth. I assume we will use these as
addr:city

There are 24 "COMMUNITY_" names, all of the above plus Centerville, Cotuit,
Dennisport, Marston Mills, Mashpee, Oysterville, South Dennis, West
Barnstable & West Dennis  These are all parts of cities. Should they be
addr:suburb

There are  46 "PC_NAME"s, all the above plus, Buzzards Bay, Cataumet,
Cumaquid, East Dennis, East Falmouth, East Dennis, East Sandwich,
Forestdale, Harwichport, Hyannis, Hyannisport, Monument Beach, North
Chatham, North Falmouth, North Truro, Pocasset, Sagamore, Sagamore Beach,
South Chatham, South Wellfleet,  South Yarmouth, West Barnstable, West
Harwich, West Hyannisport, West Yarmouth, Woods Hole&  Yarmouth Port.

Should  addr:city =PC_NAME ?
