Hi MauiEngTech, Thanks for your reply!

My driveway is already mapped for the entire world to see. And that is a minor privacy issue considering that Bing and Google have a full street view of my house along with the address. Since driveways are easily verifiable features, they can be added to the map. There is a growing trend to add driveways for use by delivery drivers. The presence of gates on the map prompt them to ensure that they can deliver without a wasted trip of being blocked by a gate. They can aid emergency vehicle drives in finding driveway entrances even in poor visibility. Uncluttered maps are created by filtering out features not needed for a particular map rendering.
GIS programs using OSM as a basemap need to have filtering to exclude unwanted features - sidewalks for example are also under the 'highway' tag and would similarly create extra lines on a basemap.

Some OSM tags go in a direction that doesn't correspond to any usage elsewhere. For example, there is not a 1:1 translation from the US Highway Functional Classification system and the OSM highway tagging conventions. place=neighborhood seems to be such a tag. I'd recommend not removing marked neighborhoods for now, but if there is a better replacement in the future, just change those that should be changed to the new tag at that time.

There is a mix of opinions - more discussion at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2020-September/020621.html

These subdivisions are already marked inside a landuse area and there is no ambiguity about where the place tag applies. There are many thousands of such subdivisions already tagged this way in OSM.
Nodes marked as 'place' however do introduce name association in other unincorporated parts of the county.

Hi, these subdivisions were not tagged as place=suburb , but instead using the suggested place=neighborhood. Why were the place tags removed? osm.wiki/Neighbourhood

Hi, I jumped the gun and changed this to Rueben's before the actual changeover which will happen on September 22. I haven't worried too much about being too early because the OSM map and OSMand are the only apps that update instantly. Most OSM map consumers only update between monthly to annually.

Hi, thank you for this edit. The building is more than a bit confusing: bus depot on the bottom floor and a parking area for cars on the roof. I'll try to update it to better match what is on the ground.

Again, please do not delete the lake waterbody to create a golf course

Why do you keep deleting Lake Keowee? If you don't recognize something, please don't delete it.

Hi, Please take care before deleting objects. This change appears to have broken both Lake Keowee and Keowee-Toxaway State park.

Welcome to OSM! Please use meaningful changeset comments: - does not help other mappers understand what you are doing. osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! The turning circle for Crimson Court was accidentally dragged to Batesville road, so I restored it.

The best way to add details to a building is not to delete the previous building because it may already contain much information such as address or 3D tagging. Instead, grab the middle of a wall where more detail is needed and drag it to match the imagery. Repeat until the new building feature is defined. Then press Q to square the resulting building.

Welcome to OSM! The reason for many of the warnings were that the large landuse area (residential) was changed to building=apartments. Also, buildings do not need a name 'apartment' since the building type has been set to 'apartments'

Also, Red Bowl was set to layer -1: is it in the basement?

Hi, This Joe's Crab Shack has closed and all signage removed.

Hi @Srihari Thalla , I believe those TIGER tags were automatically removed by the editor, as the community decided they were no longer needed.

Welcome to OSM! Are you familiar with this area today? There is newer imagery - check the "Background settings" , then check the "National Agriculture Imagery program". The original edits were recently put it by a local mapper. Would you like us to restore the original values or do you wish to correct?

The latest imagery varies by location and is often challenging to keep up with.

Hi, great progress in Shelby! Normally in OSM, land uses are not connected directly to roads because they do not extend to the centerline of the highway. In some areas there may be a gap between the edge of land use and road in the default map rendering, but this is only because road widths are not drawn to scale in the current default map.
