Tagging the entire neighborhood (minus certain parks and shopping centers on the periphery) as a residential area is also highly misleading, as there are many additional non-residential areas within this polygon, including schools, parks, and the large commercial district along Amboy Road. Adding multi polygon holes in this residential area for these dozens of exceptions would then imply that these non-residential areas aren't in "Tottenville".

Overall, it's better to have no data than this highly generalized and inaccurate data, especially when preexisting neighborhood nodes, building types, and POI nodes do a much better job at indicating where Tottenville is and which parts of it are residential.
