This makes sense to me, for my local area. Generally there are two things: a "development" or "subdivision" where there was land previously with a different use (farm, open space) that had an approved subdivision plan laying out house lots and which becomes know by the subdivision name. You're in it or you are not in it, and it is pretty clear. (Some people are confused, but it's still clear if you pay attention.) a longstanding place name for an indefinite area. Long ago, it was a cluster of houses, and then there were farther-out farms. Now it's a blur. You can't really tell if you are in it or not in it, unless you are right in the middle and you know yes, or you are miles and miles away and you know no. But there is a largish fuzzy zone where the locals will not agree. and I think your landuse=residential on way and place=neighbourhood on node exactly captures this. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
