On the other hand, an overlay with data about various risk factors --
crime, weather, accidents, air quality, cancer clusters, whatever --
would be a fine feature for a 3rd party map app to offer. But these
things don't belong in the OSM database.
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?
