Description
At least 31,043 apartment buildings are classified as a historic_site. This seems way too high.
Here's the GERS for a specific example: 6e56c495-6b81-44d4-a1a5-54b45eb66a27
Overture Release: 2026-07-22.0
Here's the SQL query I'm using in my Postgres DB: SELECT * FROM global_overture_poi WHERE basic_category = 'historic_site' AND "categories.alternate" = '{accommodation}' AND confidence >= 0.9 AND LOWER("names.primary") LIKE '%apartment%'
