what happens if the place point happens to be in the area of a
building that hosts the city hall, is a brige, has two ways that pass
through it, crosses a river and below it there are a couple subway
lines?

ok, not that likely, but I wouldn't use a tag with a different meaning
when we can just add another specific one; either based on some hard
data (e.g. economic_activity), or clearly marked as a render hint
(render:priority, maybe?)
