OpenStreetMap often has building outlines, but not building height. This would be a nice way to augment that data for visualisations (remember: OSM doesn't take auto-generated bot updates, so don't submit that to the primary source).

It does have building height. That's why flightsim 2020 had those weird spikes all over the place, people putting "999" (or similar) as height on OSM.
