[Talk-us-massachusetts] How good are existing OSM addresses in Massachusetts?

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

I imagine they are pretty good since we entered them by hand.

I'd like to see a bump of existing addresses against the MAD? Examining the
miss-matches would be interesting.
----------------------
After much work, I'm now a believer in MAD building centroid, non-stacked,
without unit addresses. I would have no problem importing them all today.
I'd even import the ones where the street name is obviously a paper street.
I've found that the town GIS map and Google Maps always can find those
addresses.

------------------------
It would be nice, if after adding buildings and fixing street names I could
import addresses.

I'm already doing that with the new buildings files. I can't see a reason
to wait.

Still plugging away at Dukes County, Martha's Vineyard, it's a street name
desert.

--------------------------
My process using JOSM is to open Yury's fuzzy match file in one layer and
download building and streets in another layer using the overpass download
method to reduce clutter on the display.

 building=* or  highway=*  in "Tisbury,Massachusetts"

I select one building from "fuzzy match" and highlight the rest with a
search, then copy the Upper/lower case street name.
I switch to the OSM layer and add the street name; sometimes I have to
check the town GIS or the massgis L3 parcel layer when the street geometry
is weird.

It would be very rewarding/inspiring at that point to be able to click a
tool to copy the addresses to the buildings. I have done that a couple of
times by editing the tags and coping the address nodes to the osm layer and
then transferring them to the building but that's too tedious.
