[OSM-talk] place=hamlet in cities

[Kevin Broderick]

In Annapolis, Maryland, for instance:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/157577529
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/150949243

All of the points for which I've reviewed the history were created ten
years ago, edited nine years ago, by the same accounts, and have not been
updated since.

It seems the same issue was brought up on the forum a couple of years ago (
https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=53057), and the suggestion
was that landuse polygons were probably most appropriate, and
place=subdivision was next-best. I don't think I can effectively
armchair-map landuse in cities, but hamlets in densely populated areas
clearly don't meet the wiki definition (and, I'd argue, are distinct
on-the-ground situations; an isolated hamlet in a rural area is very
different than an urban neighbourhood or subdivision). I'm leaning towards
place=neighbourhood as being more correct than place=hamlet, although it
clearly leaves room for improvement in the form of proper landuse polygons
and local knowledge re: names.
