Used initially, for a time, as houses (not necessarily with a workplace, often just a dwelling). Later converted to have a shop on the ground floor with the upper floor used as a dwelling. This is the big can of worms where this list splits into two warring factions: one insisting that only building=yes has any meaning and the other wanting building=all_sorts_of_specialized_types. The battles usually come to an end when the building=yes crowd realize that we have no other way of dealing with houses than building=house and the building=specialized_type crowd decide they'll keep doing what they're doing but not waste time arguing about it. There are also side-arguments about building:for and that's how we should deal with houses. If it was obviously built as a house I'd tag it as building=house because anything but building=no will render identically in many cartos anyway. I'd omit the flat above, which is "not tagging for the renderer" and it's only "tagging for the renderer" that is frowned upon. Rationale: the shop is more visible than the door to the flat; people would give directions to the flat by saying it was above the shop but nobody would give directions to the shop by saying it was below the flat. > Shall we fix the single dwelling paragraph in building=house, or does it > make sense in English? > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building%3Dhouse Only if you think you're capable of forcing all those worms back into the can. -- Paul Cheers Martin _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging >
