There is one problem when using place: people start to duplicate data.
What is already present/available in the place node is duplicated in
the place area. Sometimes it also causes data mismatch (population
with one value in the node and a different one in the area, different
classifications, names, etc).

The urban perimeter tag should be as simple as possible, without
giving a chance for data duplication.

Using landuse=residential is exactly what we want to avoid.
