This is a great example to verify my point. People live around the golf 
course but not on it. They definitely don't live in the lake! These 
should be traced around or converted to inner multi-polygons.

BTW, what are boundary=landuse & boundary=neighborhood?

Why is a residential & village relation perimeter about 100 yards in the 
lake?

Is multi-polygon relation 1274780 a connected loop. In P2 the 'select 
all member options' highlight non-looped ways.

I think you misunderstand. I meant the area that contained domestic 
housing, not mapping individual buildings.
