I agree that that Tiffany Avenue is just a normal street, not a “living street”. Our driver even drove it a few times and you can see it pretty clearly on Mapillary. https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=Tt-musXAKC5Qpuo7OAjyQA&focus=photo&lat=37.74456457237605&lng=-122.42159001944155&z=19.941223418815095 <https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=Tt-musXAKC5Qpuo7OAjyQA&focus=photo&lat=37.74456457237605&lng=-122.42159001944155&z=19.941223418815095>
I have used the living street tag once in the USA, and that is for this street which is completely blocked by gates except for a side way in that locals know. I’m sure there are other similar situations around the USA, but they are indeed rare. http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/11616350#map=18/40.73246/-74.24675 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/11616350#map=18/40.73246/-74.24675> There is an interesting story behind it: http://www.nytimes.com/1993/12/06/nyregion/plan-for-gates-call-for-pickets-bordering-newark-maplewood-finds-proposal-causes.html <http://www.nytimes.com/1993/12/06/nyregion/plan-for-gates-call-for-pickets-bordering-newark-maplewood-finds-proposal-causes.html> (sorry, no Mapillary for this one - I should drive over there with cameras sometime!)
