The way I handle that is by tracing buildings by type. All houses
first, then all garages, etc. Then I search for "new building=yes",
mass-tag them to the correct value, and move on to tracing the next
type. Usually there isn't more than 3-4 building types in an area, so
it really doesn't take much more time than using "yes" everywhere.
