The Data Working Group has become aware of this dispute and is tracking it in Ticket#2025072810000334. Derek, I see that you have removed some of Ctl's driveways for the second time, and Ctl has restored them as many times. If you find yourself in a situation like that - involve the DWG or others, don't just continue deleting and restoring data because if anything is a waste of resources it is that!

I agree with with Derek that adding driveways that do not connect to a building (because the building has not been mapped) looks absolutely silly (https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/32.708652/-117.017092) - it is a sight well suited to make others chuckle about what goes on in the heads of OSM contributors.

However, it is not against our rules and hence please don't delete Ctl's work. If you want you can raise the matter on community.openstreetmap.org ("Should we tolerate driveways when the associated buildings have not been mapped"), and if the community should then come to the consensus that mapping driveways without mapping the buildings they lead to is unwanted, then (and only then) can you remove such contributions in the future.
