[Talk-us-massachusetts] Barnstable MA a collection of villages

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

Yes, I agree.
How about https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place=borough
"Use place <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>=borough to
identify a part in larger place
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>=city
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dcity> grouped into
administrative unit."
Manhattan uses this identifier.

For example
Relation: Rose Hill (8398102)
Districts of Manhattan added. Mainly based on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Neighbourhoods/New_York_City.map and
Wikipedia
