[OSM-talk] mapping houses

[Kenneth Gonsalves]

Hi,

apart from landuse=residential, there is are no tags for  
differentiating residential buildings. Given that the largest number  
of buildings are residential there is a case for tags for types of  
buildings:

1. Individual houses. These would have a fence/wall/hedge, internal  
road or roads, the house building, outhouses and garages etc, garden,  
pool, lawn

2. apartment complex. This will have flats/apartments, internal  
roads, parking, garden, lawns and other amenities

3. huts - in villages or in slums

4. Mansions - has the same as house but on a grander scale (not  
really necessary)

comments anyone?
