[Talk-us] Is it useful to record whatever land use is limited by Massachusetts Article 97?

[Mateusz Konieczny]

As I understand, Article 97 limits use of land and changes in its purpose
as part of environment protection laws.

See https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/recent-case-law-on-article-97-limits-91869/
and https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=15e7f30d-a450-4d58-81a4-a57e518b6fe2
for something that I googled.

See https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=article%2097%20of%20the%20Massachusetts%20Constitution
for more.

Is it useful to record this kind of info in OSM? In my opinion no, as it will quickly get stale
and outdated.

I expect that this info is not verifiable by on the ground survey, will be easily damaged as
land use and land cover polygons are modified and OSM data will not be updated anyway.

I am asking as I encountered import that added this info years ago and I want to document
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:massgis:ARTICLE97 as a bad idea and a mistake.
