* You have two residential areas with names, and a third which has a
context only useful for historical relevance. It sounded like you were
trying to reserve "neighborhood" for something which no longer exists
as a residential area (which is not a valid use case for it)
* Or, all three neighborhoods exist in their current form today in which
case you have three named residential areas, one of them overlaps the
other too (and has an earlier start_date) which is how I read your
explanation now when you say " the historic neighborhood exists, it just
means the buildings in it are older than elsewhere on average."
I'm only bringing this up in the context of your statement
"neighborhoods and residential areas aren't the same thing, and shouldn't
be treated as equivalent." They really are the same thing and should be
treated as equivalent. A neighborhood is a "residential area" in every
use case. And if it ever ceases to be a residential area because of the
age or future developments then it's concurrent with that no longer a
neighborhood (but still worthy of inclusion under https://
wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Historic <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/
wiki/Historic>).
There is a span of a few city blocks with a name. Within those city
blocks, there are apartment complexes with multiple buildings that also
have names. The larger area is a place=neighborhood, and it contains
landuse=residential+residential=apartments. Please consult the
respective wiki pages if you are still confused.
