Be careful what you wish for. Once there's enough pre-existing data, or many contributors actively adding it, you'll have to worry about offending the "community".
Right now, you can be that community and add what you feel is important in the way and order you feel is important, at least locally.
Alternatively, you could try to ETL [1] the data from other sources, though free ones aren't always available, especially if something like building data hasn't been put into digital form by the government. Even then, you might be in for a fight to get it for a reasonable cost, even if freedom-of-information or public-records laws are technically on your side.
[1] certain computer skills are obviously very helpful, but expect to QA your own automation.
