[Talk-us-massachusetts] MA Address Import QC

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

Several folks have been reviewing the import of phase 1 "building centroid"
addresses.
The QC process has created a many of edits. For example, just about every
irish name starting with Mc(lower case something) has been changed to
Mc(upper case something). I was amazed at the number of new streets and
street names. Most of the edits I've made have been trivial. Misspelled
names, streets that are now lanes, roads, ways etc. I'd speculate that the
state data imported years ago must have been derived from tiger data.

I'd like to thank those who took a look at OSM Inspector "Addresses"  View
with  "Nodes with addresses" "street not found" checkmarked. See
https://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/

I've gained a great appreciation for all of the folks who imported are
baseline data years ago. It must have been a huge effort.

One small problem is about 115 houses that have paper names and no physical
street. When I'm stumped, I've added "(paper street") after the
addr:street=name in order to find them again.
If you'd like to investigate further just run this turbo overpass query.

Just today user Hamhock666 was able to fix one of these in Amherst.
