I doubt these are funicular's "in which a cable attached to a pair of tram-like vehicles on rails moves them up and down" more likely these are inclinators which are tagged as linear ways with highway=elevator
highway=elevator?uselang=en#Inclined_elevators

For example way/1226061885

If the house is built on piers it may have been built over the water, it could be always over the water even at low tide, or only during hide tide, but either way it's expected that the two polygons could overlap.

hi I think it's good to remove the lane since there's no separated way, however the bus stop node needs highway=bus_stop per highway=bus_stop plus the other tags for public transport https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/node/1817076180

it's best to try and retain existing ways and just tweak them as needed per osm.wiki/Good_practice#Keep_the_history however I realise that's not always possible or easy, just something to keep in mind.

looks good

I couldn't see anything attached to it, so have deleted the duplicate.

hi you've left some URLs in node/12658008910 and other nodes

As far as I can tell https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/1360049806 was not duplicated, any reason for the deletion?

Looks like you have some duplicates
way/1359830887/history
way/1360049809/history

Also not sure why https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/1360049806 was removed by another user since it wasn't duplicated...

hi the Esri World Imagery has bad resolution here, so please don't change building geometries which are very accurately mapped from high resolution DCS NSW Imagery to match worse resolution imagery.

Due to this I've reverted this changeset.

hi not sure why two features were deleted here? It's too hard to tell from the imagery sourced you've used and DCS NSW Imagery still shows them clearly. I've also fixed the positioning of the other building you moved. It's fine for building/water to overlap where they do on the ground.

I've improved this to shift the coastline to highest visible tide per imagery. Also please note that in this area the Esri World Imagery won't have the best alignment, usually the DCS NSW Imagery is best for alignment.

I've tweaked this to shift the shoreline to highest visible tide on imagery.

I've tweaked the area here to improve the accuracy.

hi similar to my previous comment it's not correct to just shift the building/waterway so they don't overlap if in reality they do. coastline and river shorelines are mapped to high tide, which from the DCS NSW Imagery here is much closer to the building and likely covers part of it.

hi, in this changeset you've just shifted the building and river so they don't overlap, but that's not correct because in real life they do, the building is sitting over the water. I belive we should revert this change.

ps. you can enable the "DCS NSW Land Parcel Lot" from JOSM Imagery to show lot boundaries.

Thanks for confirming this. I think given the placed barrier and signage then it's correct to mark as access=no as you have. I think at some point it could be further downgraded to abandoned:highway=path which means it won't usually show up on maps built with OSM but will still be present in the database.

Thanks looks like a positive outcome here way/1255574200/history

I think what @philt3r is trying to do here is mark houses which have an electricity connection from the grid. I think that would be okay, you can observe this from overhead wires from the street, although that doesn't work in areas where the network is underground.

I think it's useful data, but perhaps the specific tags need discussion, and we need to ensure we're not using copyrighted data sources from Essential Energy.

Looking forward to hearing back from you @philt3r
