Agreed.  Perhaps more New England, but someone will have a large chunk
of land (former farm often) and subdivide into house lots.  This is
donei with a subdivision plan that needs planning board approval (to
verify setbacks, lot sizes and frontage, street layout, etc.) and that
~always has a name associated with it, and almost always, that name is
then used to refer to that subdivision.  I don't see that as
place=neighborhood which I would use for something more organic and
older, without a crisp boundary.  With a subdivision plan, a property is
either part of it or not, and it's very easy for anyone to look at the
public records of the subdivision.  These have landuse=residential with
names.
