Re: [Tagging] Green areas that are not parks (revisited)

2010-05-10 Thread Petr Morávek [Xificurk]
I really really don't think it is a good idea to degrade the
leisure='garden' tag to mark everything from a castle garden,
dendrological garden (with or without public access), or e.g. small
Japanese garden belonging to a tea-house, to the extreme case of plain
cut grass in some backyard. Such a vague usage of a tag is imho
something that shouldn't be in OSM.
Tagging every piece of an area with surface=* really isn't an option as
I wrote before. But after a while of searching the wiki, I found
something reasonable... Until there is a better solution I'll use the
proposed scheme of landuse='residential' + residential='garden'.

Petr Morávek

More or less the tags will help a mapper tag the castle as being in
ruins or not . But the tagging will not be useful for detailed tagging
like  ruins inside a castle .

I have heard of Rhode island in one of the Hardy boys books :)

As my first mail conveys the neglect of authorities. That place has
been frequently visited by vandals hence has been spoiled .
Here is a picture of the well .

Here is the point on the map .

That had always been my feeling as well.  Imagine my surprise when I
heard an ad on the radio from Target, advertising themselves as “Target:
the upscale discount store”

FWIW, I don't like that. Look at "residential=garden"...someone lives
in the garden?

Good point. landuse=forest (or tree_farm if locally defined?) is true
even for the week (or whatever) between when the clearcut harvesters
leave and the forester shows up to replant seedlings, the intent & tax
status hasn't changed.

Well, yes :) You don't need to sleep there over night (although
especially kids do that sometimes) to designate it as a residential area.
