OpenGeoCodes enriched dataset
Yesterday I met Steve Coast, the founder of OpenStreetMap, who was in Ottawa to give a talk about his latest projects, Opengeo.codes among them.
There are about 98 million open addresses on Opengeo.codes, containing a street address, latitude and longitude.
However, it is missing information about the street address, such as city name, county, state, post code. This information is quite important for geocoding.
To fix that, I just reverse geocoded Opengeo's latest dataset. The combined dataset may be downloaded here. (under the same licensing terms as Opengeo's data - the appended data also comes from open sources with similar licensing such as geonames, openstreetmap, openaddresses.io, geocode.xyz and geocoder.ca)

Nearly 600 officers raided numerous buildings, including the clubhouse of street gang United Tribuns, in a raid investigating weapons violations and tax evasion, in part involving the operation of gaming machines.

Traffic along the street where many of the raids took place, EisenbahnstraÃe, was blocked off during the day, and officers also shut down areas around the central train station where further buildings were searched.

Officers seized two presumed dangerous pistols and ammunition, one non-lethal pistol, a baton, brass knuckles and several hundred grams of various narcotics. There was one arrest in connection to the discovery of the drugs.

Details of the suspects were not released by police.

EisenbahnstraÃe is known as a dangerous area for drug crime in the Saxon city. It has been dubbed by German media as "the most dangerous street in Germany", according to Die Welt. Last year in June, a shootout took place between the United Tribuns and Hells Angels members there, in which one person was killed.

Police asked for calm and understanding during the raids on Thursday, taking to Twitter to reassure residents of Leipzig that there was no terror threat.
