I see your point. While Brasilia has indeed in many places single purpose blocks, this is likely not the case in all cities. However, place=neighbourhood is misleading as there are many blocks in a neighbourhood.
I'm liking the `area=yes` as seen in Mannheim [1] better than `place=neighbourhood`. Thoughts?
