In San Diego, Google Maps uses the names of unremarkable apartment buildings and other multi-unit developments to label whole neighborhoods. Nobody uses those names but it's been like that for years. (Check out Hillcrest and University Heights by adjusting your zoom to the right level and those dumb names will pop up.)
- dsnuh 8y agoI've noticed this before too. It has all the real names for these areas that people use, but with so much noise thrown in. I'm happy to see my old stomping grounds of Golden Hill are regulated to about 6 blocks now in Google Maps. It's all Golden Heights and South Park now. "Golden Hill" encompassed everything now known as South Park at one time afaik, but it had a reputation, so they started calling part of it South Park and selling properties for a lot more.
