Over-lapping, un-squared buildings is a common error when getting started with editing in #OpenStreetMap .
We see these in bulk from mapa-thons, where no validation is done afterwards, and they never get reviewed and corrected until the local community finds them.
This is from a mapa-thon last year, led by an international org, with a multi-national. We asked them if they're going to validate these, and we never heard back from them. There was no crisis, and no excuse not to validate.

The map uses #openstreetmap, of course.
When this is, that is.
This arising, that arises.
When this is not, that is not.
This ceasing, that ceases.

It's likely that has to do with your ISP.
Have you noticed any #OpenStreetMap edits made by the #grab data team in your neighbourhood?

Some friends now resort to sending an SMS, to remind me they sent me something on Viber. 😅 Although I kept that app on the phone, notifications are disabled and I only check the app ,once or twice a day, usually in the mid-afternoon , and or at the end of my day.
