Create street name aliases based on alternate names in TIGER data #283

Open slinkp opened 12 years ago

slinkp commented 12 years ago

We now use primary names for all blocks/streets loaded from TIGER data, as per issue #278.

It would be great to automatically set up StreetMisspelling? instances based on the alternate names provided by TIGER data, so users could find a street by giving either name. But this is problematic, as discussed at https://github.com/openplans/openblock/pull/4
