I agree with the `hostile_architecture=` tag as this could be expanded on in the future.
Other types of common hostile architecture I know of: - sloped bus stop benches - spikes on the floor - bike racks in annoying places I propose `hostile_architecture=spikes` and `hostile_architecture=yes` for when it is more vague. As far as I know they are all anti-homeless to try and move them elsewhere out of the public eye. (makes it seems as if there are less homeless people) On Sun, 23 Aug 2020, 17:30 Vucod via Tagging, <tagging@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > Hello, > > 1) I wish to tag benches that were designed to avoid that someone lie on > it.
