[Talk-us] Apartment buildings as place=hamlet

Hi,

Apartment buildings imported from GNIS appear as 'place=hamlet' in
Salt Lake City (and quite possibly elsewhere). I think this is too
much honor for 99% of apartment buildings. My guess is there was no
way to distinguish these from other 'populated places' in the GNIS
import - correct?

My question is what to do with these? I don't want to delete them -
they are valid geographical names. I am converting them into building
outlines with name= wherever I can, but leaving the GNIS points in
place for now. Any other suggestions?
