[Talk-us-massachusetts] Why Barnstable is such a mess, and other MADness (Wayne Emerson, Jr.)

[Wayne Emerson, Jr.]

Thanks for the response Yury. The link I had included for the MSAG 
(Master Street Address Guide) Communities had a download link for the 
MSAG map:
http://download.massgis.digital.mass.gov/shapefiles/state/msagcomm.zip
If you examine the 11 towns on that map that have the MSAG sub-units, it 
includes the official borders of these sub-communities. These could be 
snipped out and incorporated into the OSM map. In reading over the 
MassGIS descriptions I believe it said that in that in these 11 
communities a valid address would need to include the name of the 
"Community"
