 At the suggestion of another user, I started switching the way I map
 neighborhoods in Milwaukee, WI and removed the landuse tag since it covers
 such a large area of land.  Using existing ways (such as streets and
 trails) as the boundary cleans up the map significantly.

 The main disadvantage I see from not having a landuse tag is that the name
 is much less prominantly displayed and not at all visible when zoomed out
 whereas the currently mapped neighborhoods with landuse=* are rendered
 nicely and are visible from a distance.

 An example of the new vs old rendering is East Town in Milwaukee compared
 to Westown.  East Town's label is much smaller and is not visible from as
 far out on the map.

 I know this isn't a very important issue but any future improvements will
 be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
