Make venues hierarchical

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, GatherPress allows to save non hierarchical venues, which is ok and not a problem, but it could be improved.

Designs

Let’s consider making the venue post type and its shadow taxonomy hierarchical, to allow for parent child relations between venues.

This could be useful for people who make events at very large venues, where it could be helpful to have sub-venues, like a university campus.

Also for people (like me, this is my special need) that want to query for events not only by venue, but also by city, state or country, an hierarchy would be amazing.

I’d definitely find this useful for my sites. Might be technical downsides though as I’ve noticed other event plugins don’t do this

I would use this. Most venues have several rooms, and adding a new venue for each room on the same address is not ideal. The same with an university campus or similar which have several buildings with different addresses and lots of rooms in each.

The wider geography (city, state, etc) does not need to be part of the same hierarchy, as that already is mapped with the address. Filtering by geography would be nice, but you won't need a hierarchy for venues for that.
