However, that can be said for every tree on earth, and so technically no trees should be mapped anywhere since any tree could be removed.</p> <p>In that case, I would agree that those would not be necessary and looking back I would likely remove those that I placed in backyards and the likes. However, there are still thousands of trees which will continue to exist in those locations for the foreseeable future due to the landscaping requirements and standards in that area, which actually forbids any changes to the layouts of those trees, making them effectively permanent thanks to property managers being solely responsible for these trees. As such, that data should 100% be shown and will remain accurate for decades to come, which is why I believe that it should not be deleted.</p> <p>So to compromise, I would meet in between by instead only representing trees that would definitely remain unchanged for the forceable future, which would also reduce lag on platforms that implement 3D assets for trees, like Mapbox’s Standard Demo.</p> <p>The issue is as well that you just deleted so many trees that now means there exists some random lines where on one side trees are prominent and on the other side its just empty.</p> <p>I will gladly make adjustments to improve performance, but ideally it there is a way to restore those trees without reverting any changes made in that area after that, that would be ideal, because I of course do not wish to remove your work either if a restoration is to happen.</p> </div> <div itemprop="interactionStatistic" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/InteractionCounter"> <meta itemprop="interactionType" content="http://schema.org/LikeAction"/> <meta itemprop="userInteractionCount" content="1" /> <span class='post-likes'>1 Like</span> </div> </div> <div id='post_13' itemprop='comment' itemscope itemtype='http://schema.org/Comment' class='topic-body crawler-post'> <div class='crawler-post-meta'> <span class="creator" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <a itemprop="url" href='https://community.openstreetmap.org/u/tekim'><span itemprop='name'>tekim</span></a> (Mike) </span> <span class="crawler-post-infos"> <time itemprop='datePublished' datetime='2024-10-29T20:28:15Z' class='post-time'> October 29, 2024, 8:28pm </time> <meta itemprop='dateModified' content='2024-10-29T20:28:15Z'> <span itemprop='position'>13</span> </span> </div> <div class='post' itemprop='text'> <aside class="quote no-group" data-username="Neonkaaaaa" data-post="10" data-topic="120863"> <div class="title"> <div class="quote-controls"></div> <img loading="lazy" alt="" width="24" height="24" src="https://community-cdn.openstreetmap.org/letter_avatar_proxy/v4/letter/n/b19c9b/48.png" class="avatar"> Neonkaaaaa:</div> <blockquote> <p>Tend to evolve.
