Landuse is a general description of what the predominant landuse is.
Hence if a residential subdivision includes a community park or golf
course, or an industrial park includes a McDonald's, you don't need to
cut them out of the polygon.
I disagree with this. People don't live/reside in parks.
By your logic whole countries such as the UK could be an area tagged as
grass/fields because that's the "predominant landuse is". You have to
map to a certain level of detail. Mapping the difference between a
residential estate & a golf course is, IMO, the bare minimum.
Following your example, how would you produce a map that showed just
where domestic housing was or calculate the area taken by this housing.
