[Talk-us] place=neighborhood on subdivisions?

[Clifford Snow]

Steve,
If the boundaries exist, you could use admin_level=10.

Most of the neighborhoods I'm familiar with are just small subdivisions
within the city. For example, in Seattle I lived in the Wallingford
Neighborhood. Seattle has defined boundaries for each of the neighborhoods.
In other areas, neighborhoods are roughly defined by people living there.
In those cases using a place= tag makes more sense.
