[Geowanking] Zillow has released boundaries for "neighborhoods" in the US

[David G. Smith PE PLS]

I just looked at Pennsylvania - it just has Philadelphia and Pittsburgh -
yet many other municipalities, even those with mature and robust GIS in
place (e.g. Allentown) are conspicuously absent.  Metadata was sketchy
(compiled with the help of municipalities) - but what does the data really
mean (or intend to mean)?  Is it from planning maps?  Wards?  Precincts?
Locally-known designations?  What sources?

Interesting, but more questions than answers at this point.
