but what about areas where the TIGER data is simply mis-aligned? for
instance, currently the TIGET data for san mateo county is off by about
200'. and i think (i don't live in that area, so i'm not sure) that it's
the entire county that's affected.
i think OSM needs to have a plan for dealing with updates for these
sorts of issues, at least.
