not having to reverse engineer the map since the  TIGER was available (and
other sources are coming available some faster some slower Eg, MASS was
loaded from state data not Tiger) results in much more 'studio' work (fixing
TIGER overpasses to pass over not intersect, fixing TIGER ramps to intersect
the motorway so oneways go right) and much less of what the rest-of-OSM call
'real mapping' field work. Every year in any community, there are a few new
streets, some new big buildings, a few realigned intersections, but there
are no vast areas of white empty map to go on a mapping expedition.

My biggest challenge is figuring out a workflow for fixing turn restrictions
on existing intersections.
