[OSM-talk] Street Addresses

[John Harvey]

Hey!

So I'm trying to figure out the street address thing.  Some POI's have 
street addresses.  Some nodes in buildings have street addresses.  Some 
cities have more address data (Paris and Denver come to mind), some have 
nearly none (New York).  If I had to guess I would say less than 1% of 
POI's/Building have address data (US Wide) and I suspect Europe isn't 
much further ahead (10%?)

Some cities have addr:interpolation.  Toronto is an amazing example 
(thanks CanVec and the people who imported the data): 
http://osm.org/go/ZX6DTTVf9--

So I was looking at http://www.ridethecity.com/ .  They seem to have 
street addresses for New York and Vancouver, cities that seem to have 
poor address info in the main data.

Am I missing something?  Is there another file besides the plant.osm 
that has addresses?

Thanks for the info.

John
