  Re: real estate use case - I have seen local agents refer to 
neighborhoods that I put on OSM by surveying the new streets.  Clients 
could be directed to use mapping apps to find a new neighborhood or new 
street that is on a city's GIS but not on other maps yet.   (not sure 
which app they tell their clients to use)
