External Data and Importing in the United States
summary
The Florida land-use import progressively greens the peninsula by running county-by-county conflation, deleting low-value polygons and preserving named features, using a QGIS buffer/difference workflow to keep landuse off roads and a JOSM validator+search pass to fix ~100 geometry errors per county. A prior offshore oil-rig import is already present; the Hi-FLD dataset still has over 100–200k objects needing manual review. National Address Database coverage is partial but usable under OSM licensing, and detailed Wiki documentation drives reproducible imports.
