[Talk-us] TIGER 2022 PLACE dataset

[MoiraPrime]

Here's a pretty important CDP that the map would probably be worse off 
for not including: Metairie, Louisiana - Wikipedia 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metairie,_Louisiana>

Right now Metairie's boundary is mapped, but it's mapped as a city with 
admin_level 8. Relation: ‪Metairie‬ (‪131642‬) | OpenStreetMap 
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/131642#map=14/29.9667/-90.1328>

I'd say if a CDP is for a distinct enough thing, keep it. If it's kinda 
redundant and probably isn't very useful, remove it or don't include it.
