Not just is it still the same thing, but I would argue you're doing it wrong if you tag a historic neighborhood as a neighborhood. The reason why we have multiple pages dedicated to this https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Historic is because something that's historic has a value totally aside from the value of things that are on-the-ground which is the primary guiding concept. If the neighborhood no longer exists in the form described, it's no longer a neighborhood https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Neighbourhood If anything it _should_ be, * historic=neighborhood * historic=residential; name=whatever And that coexists well with "landuse=residential; name=whatever" today. While retaining the difference (that it no longer functions in that way). -- Evan Carroll - [email protected] System Lord of the Internets web: http://www.evancarroll.com ph: 281.901.0011 <+1-281-901-0011>
