There are some properties on US location types that have been hidden
for a while, and I'd like like to clean them up. The properties are:
http://www.freebase.com/tools/schema/location/us_state
/location/us_state/cities
/location/us_state/counties
http://www.freebase.com/tools/schema/location/us_county
/location/us_county/state
/location/us_county/cities
The more general location containment will be updated with any data
that currently may be in these properties; the links would be moved
to /location/location/contains and /location/location/containedby (/
location/location is an included type). These properties will then be
deleted.
Additionally, there is a /location/us_citytown type that has been
replaced by a more general /location/citytown. The link connected to /
location/us_citytown/state would be moved to /location/location/
containedby and the property and type will be deleted.

This will require some ECTs to be updated:
The ECT of /location/us_county/county_seat will be updated to /
location/citytown.
The ECT of /location/us_state/capital will be updated to /location/
citytown. I'd also like to mark this property as unique; last time I
checked, US states couldn't have more than one capital city.
Any objection or comments to this?
Bryan
