Where's the 174M footprints with height data to download?

Your latest README.md update says:

2023-06-05 - Combining all building footprint releases into one distribution. Total footprints: 1.2B. Footprints with height: 174M. Updated coverage map and associated features. Other data sources will remain unchanged.

That link goes to this section of the README.md:

Will there be more data coming for other geographies?
Maybe. This is a work in progress. Also, check out our other building releases!

US
Australia
Canada
Uganda and Tanzania
South America
Kenya and Nigeria
Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines

I download footprints for Australia and a select few US states and they are still the dumb footprint polygons without height attributes

I notice there's a Buildings with height coverage section of the README.md with this link:

You can download the layer above as GeoJSON here.

That GeoJSON file is just a file of 66k coverage cells, not the actual footprints with heights.

So ... where is it?

You can find the list of all links in this table under Url column

The height values are attached to the building footprint records. Height with a -1 mean we don't have an estimate. Units are in meters.
