Incorrect classification for Israel

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Israel have a complicated way to define the administration borders so I want to ask how to handle it before opening a PR.

Israel as a country have the following hierarchy:

  • Country (Israel)
  • Districts (Northern District, Southern District, etc), they are shown as states in cosmogony.
  • Council (City council, local council and regional council), they are mapped as cities.
  • Villages which are only under a regional council

So basically admin_level=8 can mean either a city council/local council which are actually a city but they can also mean a regional council which is a collection of villages or kibbutzim.

Sometimes the council will be marked as place=city/town and sometimes inside the council area there would be another area that is tagged as place=city/town/village.

Maybe using the place tag would be better for cities and the council would be for state district or something like that?
