Part of the problem is that neighborhoods, unlike official administrative units, or even Home Owner Associations, don't necessarily have agreed-upon boundaries. Different people may consider the same location to be in different neighborhoods.

You're proposing that I remove admin_level=* from Burke, but that is the "city" that everyone in Burke uses for their mailing address, and is indeed what the USPS uses. The only strict administrative unit in my area is Fairfax County, which is a place with over a million people. Whether we like it or not admin_level is used for more than just strict administrative units. We either need to admit it and keep on using it, or create something else and change the many existing uses to the new key. -Josh _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
