Rendering `place=borough/city_block/plot` with name label #4987

Open joshinils opened 4 months ago

A polygon way without a relation or node is not rendered with its name.

I would assume that these usually do not come with a relation that combines a way and node, I currently do not know how to research this.

TagInfo All Node Way Relation w/ name named %
borough 1 383 270 27 1 086 - -
neighbourhood 465 668 386 509 57 494 21 665 458 830 98.53%
city_block 62 065 14 789 46 019 1 257 48 486 78.12%
plot 219 043 2 942 213 730 2 371 13 066 5.97%

neighbourhood can possibly be omitted in favor of #4986, since there is already a rendering for it

Bottom line: Only place=city_block could be considered for display IMO and so far it seems doubtful if that is a good idea. Documentation of the practice of use of that tag would help a lot.
