That tag was there before the import. My import does not set the name tag.

Hi, where exactly are you getting your data for this import? I am currently in the process of working on an import of the NYS GIS ClearingHouse address points, located at:

https://gis.ny.gov/gisdata/inventories/details.cfm?DSID=921

And I am noticing that since of the addresses on Snowpine Village contradict what's in the GIS data set. For example, the building that says it is 102 is actually "C 201" in the NYS data; the building marked as 203 is actually "A 204" in the NYS data; etc.

Also, I do not recall seeing a previous discussion of the NYS Clearinghouse data. Did you discuss the import in the mailing list before?

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me! Will do tonight.

Thanks for taking a look! I initially thought what you suggested sounded like the right thing to do as well; however, I read in [the wiki on how to map bus routes](osm.wiki/Buses):

> To add streets to the relation properly, select the first street that the bus drives over after leaving the first stop in the route.

I'm not sure if maybe I'm misinterpreting the instructions, or perhaps got confused about the semantics of what constitutes the "first stop." I'm happy to fix it though, if that is the correct way to map it.

Hello. That is in fact why I made this change. I had just learned that you have to offset the background imagery, and after I did so, I fixed all the positions of the houses I just mapped. Thanks for your helpful info!

My commit message was a bit terse, so let me elaborate a bit.

The address nodes were all for units that were on different floors, and they were all just placed next to each other; moreover, they didn't show up in searches (I tested this before making the change). Even if you looked visually at the rendered unit numbers, it was very noisy, and would have been hard to find a unit that way. I used to live in this building, and I can tell you that the way this was set up with address nodes, it would not have been very useful for trying to find an individual unit within the building.

Furthermore, having dozens of tags that all have the same street address creates lots of data redundancy, which also makes searching harder.

There were lots of problems with the data the way it was; this was not a change that was solely "for the renderer."
