I would not do that without asking the original mapper or without having
visited the location.  There might be a reason for it.

Having many streets mapped as living_street seems a bit odd, but who knows,
perhaps it is that really way?

Remember: this is a collaborative project. Please respect what others have
done, especially if you haven't been to the location.

I agree not to map all urban areas as simply landuse=residential,
especially because not all urban areas are residential, some are industrial
and so on. I would prefer leaving landuse=residential for special uses.

But again: I don't think we should delete  landuse=residential whenever we
find it (I certainly do not) because it is not wrong either and there might
be some legitimate reason for its existence which we may not be aware of.

Again: this is a collaborative project, please ask first before deleting
something.

The only exception to that rule, of course, is if it is an obvious error,
say a landuse=residential where satellite images show only water.

cheers
