[Talk-us] Neighborhoods / Zillow

[Martijn van Exel]

Hiya,

OSM has pretty poor neighborhood coverage in the US. We have around 1100
place=neighbo[u]rhood. Geonames has ten times that at 11,000 (feature class
P.PPLX - not sure if all of those are neighborhoods) and Zillow has 7,000.
Both these data sets are provided under (different) CC licenses. Could we
use either Geonames or Zillow to drive improvement to neighborhood name
coverage in OSM? I am not proposing an import, but a local MapRoulette
challenge might work where people with local knowledge accept / reject
proposed neighborhood points, or something along those lines.
