We have been recently discussing on the German ML about
landuse=residential.

My opinion:

landuse=residential should be used to map area where people live. This does not include other areas such as parks, schools, cemeteries etc. I try & trace around them. If they're totally inclosed then I set up a multi-polygon relation & add an inner relation to these items.

Individual areas can be as big or small as required, from a whole city down to a single property.

landuse=residential should not be sub tagged with place=* or name=*. For these the appropriate boundary= & admin_level= should be used.

Personally, I decide whether to include roads within a residential area based on it's overall width. If it's dual laned, contains grass verges then I'll probably trace around it.
