Description
I have officially decided to disable the loading of addrfeat. In my opinion it just takes up space.
What finally sold me was this: http://www.postgis.org/pipermail/postgis-users/2012-September/035297.html
Right now it's taking up a lot of space and We are not using it. We are not using it for a couple of reasons:
1) Takes up more disk space 2) I don't think it will be faster than the joins we are doing already and we would just be swapping joins for CASE statements thus probably not improving readability much
3) We can't really use it for reverse geocoding as a lot of our reverse geocoding involves non-addressable locations like ramps and exits on highways. Though geocoding non-addressable regions isn't perfect, it puts us in the ball-park. These aren't I don't think covered in addrfeat.
