use place=neighbourhood for these names if they are referring to something
bigger than a contiguos property. When you add names to landuse, it creates
problems because names like these mostly refer to more than one landuse,
foremost the public streets, alleys and footways, but also educational
institutions, small retail and commercial use (it depends on the area of
course), places of worship, etc., and it prevents others from refining the
landuse because it is now also relating to a toponym.
Often names refer to the whole part of the settlement, but there are also
named contiguos, single use developments where adding the name to the
landuse seems to "work" (not generally, only in some instances).
