I don’t see anything wrong with it, so long as it’s actually a named place that people would refer to, as opposed to a cadastral unit. If the subdivision has one of those signs at the entrance, or locals know what you mean when someone says they live in “Hickory Creek”, or whatever. It’s not as useful to know if it’s “HICKORY CREEK FIRST RESUB UNIT 1”.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Also, I would create the area similarly to landuse=residential, which does not always correspond to a subdivision’s legal boundary. Around me, there are a number of subdivisions that technically own a large portion of open space at the back as an outlot, but outside of the county’s land records, there is no distinguishable feature from aerial imagery or on the ground that would indicate the woods/meadow/etc is “in” the subdivision. But that may just be me.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:niceman@att.net">Mike N</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, September 22, 2020 19:16<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:talk-us@openstreetmap.org">talk-us@openstreetmap.org</a><br><b>Subject: </b>[Talk-us] place=neighborhood on subdivisions?</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thoughts on use of place=neighborhood for subdivisions? </p><p class=MsoNormal>https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/91255294</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Note that there are many thousands already tagged this way (5000 plus </p><p class=MsoNormal>in a section of the southeast alone).</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>Talk-us mailing list</p><p class=MsoNormal>Talk-us@openstreetmap.org</p><p class=MsoNormal>https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
