Hi mappered1, I've asked before, but I'm going to ask again: Were are you getting this address data from? It's important to let other mappers know, and to keep a record of, where info is coming from.
I noticed that you added addresses to the buildings on the East side of Cambie, between King Ed and 26th. I'm pretty sure that those buildings do not exist anymore, and that it is a construction site for another of the Condos going up in the area. (I'll double check that).
It's also weird that the building to which you added the address 481 W 26th Ave is not actually on 26th Ave, but has another house between it and 26th ave.
I see that the addresses you've added does correspond with the address data that the City of Vancouver provides, including the fact that the CoV data poorly aligns that house (481 W 26th), and places it closer to the building you added it to. The CoV address node in question is still between the building that faces 26th, and the one you put it on, but it is closer to the one you added it too.
There has been talk about the open licensing of the CoV data, and the consensus seems to be that it's ok to use it, but it is required that we provide proper attribution to them. It's not much for them to ask that much.
On the other hand you may be using a dataset based on the CoV data, but licensed differently. Like if you were just getting addresses off google. That would be bad, please don't do that. I'm worried that this may be what you are doing, because you are editing with iD, and I don't think iD can support the import of KML, the format that the CoV provides the address data.
