[Tagging] place=neighbourhood vs landuse=residential

[Evan Carroll]

I'm from North America. I'm saying either

* You have two residential areas with names, and a third which has a
context only useful for historical relevance. It sounded like you were
trying to reserve "neighborhood"  for something which no longer exists as a
residential area (which is not a valid use case for it)
* Or, all three neighborhoods exist in their current form today in which
case you have three named residential areas, one of them overlaps the other
too (and has an earlier start_date) which is how I read your explanation
now when you say " the historic neighborhood exists, it just means the
buildings in it are older than elsewhere on average."

I'm only bringing this up in the context of your statement "neighborhoods
and residential areas aren't the same thing, and shouldn't
be treated as equivalent." They really are the same thing and should be
treated as equivalent. A neighborhood is a "residential area" in every use
case. And if it ever ceases to be a residential area because of the age or
future developments then it's concurrent with that no longer a neighborhood
(but still worthy of inclusion under
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Historic).
