Talk:Los Osos, California

Unincorporated Area vs. "Census-designated place"
I've said this before on other talk pages of unincorporated areas, but I disagree with the usage of "census-designated place" as the title or identifier of any settlement, regardless of size or status. No one ever says "I live in the census-designated place" of X. Since under California law there are only incorporated cities and unincorporated areas, the usage of terms like town or village would be inappropriate, so if something is not an incorporated city, we should refer to it as an unincorporated x, where x can be area, community, town, or whatever--we don't need to split hairs over that, as long as the word unincorporated is used. However, I think any use of "census-designated place" is inappropriate unless we're actually talking about Census data. I feel like other editors may be getting too hung-up on the bean-counting technicalities being produced by the US Census Bureau when it comes to placenames (on which, by the way, the Census Bureau is not the authority anyway--that rests with local government, and where that fails, with the United States Board on Geographic Names).
