I hope there is a special place in hell for #OpenStreetMap mappers that split up border ways (as in administrative borders) to reuse short pieces in landuse multipolygons. For those not in the know: this saves nothing and makes boundaries very very slow to update.

@simon If I had a penny for every time I've unpicked a needlessly complicated multi-polygon relation with tens of chopped-up shared way segments, and replaced then with two simple ways, I could buy us both a beer! 🍻 😢

Map for maintenance, #SimpleIsBetter , don't try to be too clever in #OpenStreetMap

(Oh, and learn about the #JOSM balloon tool - much easier for landcover, even when construction lines are needed to constrain it.)

@jamesderrick while gluing to borders is bad, at least it can be automatically be undone.
