hmmm i do see the point there about racial/class bias... i was thinking
more about areas that were known crime spots/had associated illegal
activities people may want to avoid(to the point there are regular
police patrols at night)? also places where getting a phone out could
lead to it being stolen? i've heard that can be an issue in some areas.
just wasn't sure if any of those scenarios really deserved tagging
because i didn't really feel there was a bias there? either way just
wanted to check (sorry if this shows up as a double post, i saw there
was a reply to mailing list option i should be using, i get the
impression the first time didn't send)

As far as "bad areas" and "class and racial bias" go, I'll admit that
I contemplated the idea of tagging the walking paths within some city
public housing projects as access=destination, because it reflects the
reality on the ground -- generally, people don't walk *through* the
projects to get to a destination on the other side. But it's
immediately obvious that this is bias-based interpretation: when I say
"people" I mean people I know, and OSM is for everybody, not just
people I know. So unless the paths are physically impeded,
unmaintained to the point of decay, or signed "residents only" they
need to be equal to any other walking path.

Other than dog toilets, this is too subjective to be included in OSM
at all, and tends to stink of class and racial biases.

Hello, i was wondering whether there was a way to tag areas that
may be
risky/dangerous to walk in? i can think of a few streets that
could use
the tag, was there anything of the sort that has been agreed on?
