Every instance of highway=living_street I have come across in the US has been people mistagging because snazzy European living streets sound so much cooler (and render so much cooler) that regular old boring highway=residential, bicycle=designated, sidewalk=both (which these streets actually are). Being a dead end or a cul-de-sac does not make it a living street. I agree with you 100%, Peter.
I would support a maproulette challenge to eliminate all of these in the US, but that's just my $0.02.
