That doesn't tell you what objects exist inside those boundaries...

OSM does need to think more carefully about what exactly is in and out
of scope.
The scope is IMHO the worldmap drawn with the knowledge of locals,
that's why I'd consider these informal neighbourhoods precious to our
data, even more as they are not

Does that matter if the boundaries are essentially guesswork inventions

If we used that logic we would only ever map from very hi-res very

But I don't know if you consider quarters or districts differently as
neighborhoods.

This sounds like a good compromise to me, as most people will have a general
agreement of where a given neighborhood is located, but differ about where the

At the risk of over complicating things, let me give a little more info.
LA County is a fragmented place with many different cities and
unincorporated areas puzzled together. Our neighborhoods are in fact three
different types of areas consolidated.
1. Cities divided into neighborhoods. i.e.
I think it's a good idea but needs a good idea for the tagging with these
different combinations and dividing.
neighborhood names are common in other cities too and well known to locals. So
it is valuable info for osm and should be rendered too. currently some are
added as place nodes and also

Apollinaris, our boundaries have a classification system we roughed out. How
well they would mesh with OSM is something I'd love to hear a critique on.
Simplifying things a bit, the taxonomy of our database is two tiers:
Neighborhoods and Regions. Neighborhoods come in three types: 1, parts

I'm a developer at the Los Angeles Times. We just put out a set of
