I don't wish to start an argument, and I ask with all the politeness I can muster, but Mateusz, how can you be so sure? Quoting our wiki, "land use...describes what an area of land is used for e.g. housing..., etc." On the land that property owners own, and live on, can you truly say they are not "using the entirety of their land for residential purposes?" Of course, some of that might have a house or apartment building, but the rest of it, is that land not also residential? I believe it is. I am not alone. You might be conflating these areas with the "property rights" of the owners/residents, as I did bring that phrase into the conversation. But what else would we call "the remainder of land which is used for residential purposes which does not strictly contain the footprint of a building (hut, apartment, tent, hogan, mud daub dwelling)?" Something other than residential? It is residential!
