Hi Sergey,

in Germany a living_street is a designated type of street with a
special sign [1]. So, I would only use living_street for this type of
streets. I usually tag alleys either as service or if they are in a
very bad condition as track. 

Perhaps it would make sense to introduce highway=alley?

        cheers,
        Christoph
