Questions people may have
- Why use admin_level=9?
- I wanted a hybrid of townships like these do while still having thost towns that act like townships as Vermont does. And it ended up with there being townships, towns, then almost in a way real towns.
- Why are there some towns that do not use the admin_level=9 but are instead just 8?
- Most are due to them being "large enough" to fill all of the level 8 area so they don't need 10. And some are just from before the rule was made.
