I do not disagree (meaning "I agree"), however: if my quarter-hectare
property of low density residential zoning has a house, fences, a
garage, lawns, a creek running along the backside of it and so is
largely a riparian corridor, a garden and so on, are you saying that
it is incorrect for me to have included my parcel in a larger
"neighborhood" of landuse=residential (along with my neighbors), even
though I don't include all of these specific "micro-mapping"
elements? Where do you draw the lines of where appropriate
landuse=residential tagging begin and end?
And again, as large areas (called "neighborhoods" or "quarters" or
"districts" in any given local parlance) truly are exclusively
residential, I still maintain that drawing an appropriate polygon
around them and tagging landuse=residential is correct. This (again)
is NOT the same as saying that they cannot be made MORE correct,
rather that such tagging is "a good first step" and not entirely
incorrect.
This is describing the actual landuse, not the legally permitted landuse.
An example of describing the zoning instead of the actual landuse is
marking areas of the desert with no development as landuse=residential
because the government has at some point in the past zoned them as
residential.
