What should the addr:city name be? Here, this seems pretty clear that subdivisions of admin_level=8 are admin_level=9 or 10, and this is like named neighborhoods in Boston (e.g. Back Bay, Roxbury), or Newton. Overall, I think we should look to geographers who study this sort of thing, and see what the professional literature seems to say.
