[OSM-talk] Proper use of landuse=residential ?

[Ted Mielczarek]

Hi,

I'm looking to fill out my map, so I've started adding landuse tagged
areas.  I've added a bunch of landuse=residential areas[1], and now
that I look at it, I wonder if it isn't smarter to just make several
large landuse=residential areas, and set them at layer=-1.  Is there a
consensus on which is preferred?

Regards,
-Ted
