SpaceAgeCity I am sorry to have take the roll of Devils Advocate on your thread
and offer what seems to be negative feed back, I have gone to your Google site
and looked at every building that you have "pinned" and at surrounding homes etc.

The reason I have concentrated on the A-Frame discussion (I know I was the one who brought it up)
is that it seems to be the common & in many cases the only feature defining it as "Tiki" on the map

What I see is that almost all of the housing tracts share Mid Century A-Frame Architectural design flourishes
and no obvious Polynesian influences needed to define them as "Tiki"

These account for more then 50 percent of your entries (Which is why I said the work was lazy)
If you disagree please show us examples of why you would designate the properties as Tiki/Polynesian influenced Architecture
and not just Mid Century housing tracts as I consider them to be.

I want you to know I do appreciate your efforts in taking on a project like this
but I just want it to be accurate & true, Since you have taken it upon yourself to educate the public
on something all of us here are very passionate about.
