well, they could also overlap (so you could see from the polygons that
there is a certain area which somehow "belongs" to both neighbourhoods (and
probably to none of them clearly, as it is distant from both centers).

+1, I agree that if you have no idea where the actual boundary might be
(perceived by the locals) it is best to put a node to where you are sure it
is a central place for this neighbourhood.
