I'm harmonious with Minh's comments in the changeset. The place key, with value suburb, has quite specific meanings, I don't think these are those. And as we don't or shouldn't be truly precise and especially not authoritative with "legal subdivisions," I think the "more informal" nature of OSM data entry around what a local (resident) might consider "a neighborhood" (especially as one distinct from place=neighbourhood. which also has quite specific meanings) and not necessarily one taggable with admin_level=10 (as it hasn't any administrative neighborhood council, extant, but rare in the USA) then yes, use landuse=residential (with a name=*) tag. That has worked for some time, it does work for now, and appears it will work into the future.
Read https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:place (which will show this very likely shouldn't be used). Read https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/United_States_admin_level (which will show this very likely shouldn't be used). Read https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:landuse. It's a good match for "these" (roughly, "subdivisions"), especially with a name tag, since a bonus is the name tag renders nicely in Carto. Carto rendering is not the reason to do it, simply a "nice to have, since it's done correctly, Carto rewards you with an appropriate rendering." Carto does a pretty good job (maybe even always getting a bit better as time goes on) of rendering what you tag, when you tag appropriately. Tag "appropriately" and help it out: it will help you out with a pretty "blossom" of your tagging. (Unless it doesn't, but then we're out at the hairy edge of OSM and Carto...another, bigger, topic).
