Agreed. Around me, my impression is that most place=locality are place names that people use. Part of the core issue is the separation between our modern notion of place as defined by administrative boundaries vs. the older notion of a town/village center and things that are near it. At least in the northeast US, I think there's a been a vast shift in the past 200 years. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
