[OSM-talk] Abandoned buildings

[Marc Gemis]

As soon as you record the data it is in the database, it doesn't
matter whether it is rendered on the standard map or not.
I think that if you need "stats" on abandoned buildings or shops, that
you will load the data into your own database or a GIS system such as
QGIS, where you can really analyse and visualise the data.
Another quick solution for visualisation would be to use Overpass
Turbo or Overpass in combination with umap.  No need to wait until
others do the work for you :-)
