But how would such a thing be tagged?
For instance, here in Portland, we have defined neighborhoods, which have neighborhood associations, and a city bureau (the Office of Neighborhood Involvement) dedicated to working with those organizations. They are, in a very real, if not technically legal sense, administrative units of the City. There is often good correlation between perceived/colloquial neighborhood, and the boundaries defined by the ONI, but not always. So is there a need to distinguish in tags perceived neighborhoods and administrative defined ones? And, if we insist on being able to ground truth something, do perceived neighborhoods even belong anywhere in OSM? (For the record, I think the ground truth "requirement" to be quite often untenable…) d.
