building=residential is bad tagging IMHO as it adds only rough information not
going beyond what landuse already tells, typically people will use more
specific values like apartments, house / detached, villa etc (if they specify
more than yes)
I can't deny there are quite some of them nonetheless:

I agree for highways but gardens, terraces, garages etc are normally part of
the residence, even if you don't sleep there...
