I agree that landuse should usually get no names. If a settlement has a name which is used only for administrative or postal purposes there is no need for a place=* feature, just use boundary=administrative/postal_code. If the dispersed settlement is perceived as an settlement (I'm living in...)

Sent from Mail for Windows 10 I believe that too many people are confusing the landuse=residential with the boundary=* tags. There should not be any area names, hamlet names, community names attached to a landuse tag. The landuse tag is to indicate the use of the land (residential, industrial,

Also note that, at least here in Spain, in a dispersed settlement the 'streets' usually have no name and the postal address of the building is given by the name of the settlement and a housenumber. So this is a valid postal address "Lugar Anocheza, 10" where "Lugar" means place. ___
