Inconsistent use of neighborhood name vs. region name

[jonfroehlich]

In the attributes API, we have Neighborhood Name:

But in the neighborhoods API, we have region_name (and region_id):

Do they refer to the same thing? If so, we should use the same name across all our API endpoints.

They do refer to the same thing, nice eye!

[jonfroehlich]

Would you propose RegionName and RegionID then for both? Or NeighborhoodName and NeighborhoodID

[misaugstad]

I think that "neighborhood" is probably more meaningful to people than "region", so I've been moving our user-facing stuff over to using "neighborhood" for awhile. So I say "neighborhood"!

[jonfroehlich]

Sweet. Let's do it.

You might ask: what's prompting all of these API questions recently? Well, it's emails like Frank's today asking about how to get the data and how to do some basic analysis. :)

[jonfroehlich]

Perfect. Sounds good!
