[Talk-us] admin_level=8 boundaries in Parker County, TX

[Elliott Plack]

Yikes! In that case, I typically open the relation for the boundary, delete
the old geometry from the relation, save, check if I can remove any
unneeded ways, add the new data as tag-less ways, and then reconfigure the
inner/outer roles. This has the benefit of preserving the boundary relation
while removing the bad tiger data and it makes sure nothing is snapped to
the boundary.
