borough divisions are missing completely #443

@krizleebear

Description

In the schema description, borough subtype is described as 'unit, below the locality placetype, e.g. Brooklyn, Queens, etc.'

But: The current release 2025-10 has absolutely no division with subtype=borough. Neither in division_areas, nor in divisions type.
My rough expectation: I would expect this subtype to appear maybe even more often than localities (1 city with n boroughs is quite common).

SELECT count(*) as count, subtype 
FROM 
read_parquet('s3://overturemaps-us-west-2/release/2025-10-22.0/theme=divisions/type=division/*')
GROUP BY subtype
ORDER BY count DESC ;
count	subtype
3377993	locality
679757	neighborhood
220989	microhood
151567	macrohood
38799	county
21133	localadmin
3906	region
219	country
53	dependency

If my understanding or expectation is wrong, then please give me some advise.
