<p>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.</p>
<p>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.<br>
