The TIGER import is about 10 years old and still not cleaned up.
> It's the developing parts of the world that need automated road creation the most. The opposition seems to emanate from rich, European nations.
I would guess that the majority of the OSM community is from rich, European nations. If people need open road data then why not let/make them create it themselves?
Using tools to suggest changes is great but without local knowledge we get bad edits like for example some contributions by Facebook or Mapbox who seem to think their US offices know better than the locals...
