Settlements which are mapped with the place=* key are usually mapped as a
node, not as an area.
There are many place=city areas in the USA, but that's because the tag was
incorrectly added to many municipal boundaries when they were first
imported, years ago.
Some neighborhoods have well-defined

Whoops, "but NOT if it isn't something like a council"

Clifford: I certainly agree with you if (and likely only if) there is
something like a neighborhood council that actually has some sort of
"administrative" function (which could be as "lowly" as dog catcher, mosquito
abatement, or "sub-municipal parks department for these three neighborhood
Steve,
If the boundaries exist, you could use admin_level=10.
Most of the neighborhoods I'm familiar with are just small subdivisions
within the city. For example, in Seattle I lived in the Wallingford
Neighborhood. Seattle has defined boundaries for each of the neighborhoods.
In other areas,
If you MUST tag place=neighbourhood (note the u) see if you agree with me that
this tag makes most sense in a hierarchy where place=suburb (and perhaps
quarter, if applicable, is/are above) also exist(s). I'm not strictly saying I
believe that place=neighbourhood CANNOT exist without

certainly don't see anything that should be tagged as a hamlet, they all

I'm harmonious with Minh's comments in the changeset.
The place key, with value suburb, has quite specific meanings, I don't think
these are those. And as we don't or shouldn't be truly precise and especially
not authoritative with "legal subdivisions," I think the "more informal" nature

I'd consider a
I agree with the way it was already mapped. Subdivisions should be mapped
as areas tagged with landuse=residential, place=neighborhood, and name=* if
it is named.
Looking around the area of the edit, there is a lot of stuff from my
perspective that seems fishy. There are a bunch of place=hamlet
I’ve seen it used that way. I don’t see anything wrong with it, so long as it’s actually a named place that people would refer to, as opposed to a cadastral unit. If the subdivision has one of those signs at the entrance, or locals know what you mean when someone says they live in “Hickory Creek”,
Thoughts on use of place=neighborhood for subdivisions?

Note that there are many thousands already tagged this way (5000 plus
in a section of the southeast alone).

I have added a one-line addition to our USBRS wiki suggesting that some aspect
of Lifecycle_prefix (with a link to that wiki) include into USBRS route
proposals something like "proposed:route=bicycle" in addition to
state=proposed, while welcoming further suggestions and refinements. Thanks,
Yes, for USBR 201 we essentially followed the ECGW. This made for some
less-than-direct segments, but that was what the locals wanted. But that does
not mean that the route shown on OSM Cycle is proposed USBR 201. Only when you
see the 201 tag on the map will this be the case.

I was just reading through the recent US News & World Report college

without any attribution. Tiles look to be served from their own domain.
