[Tagging] sleepable:physical=yes/no | Re: Benches and hostile architecture

[Rory McCann]

I asked about this ~1½ years ago too (  https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-February/thread.html#43244 ). In the end I thought `sleepable:physical=yes/no` is an accurate tag, and fits the OSM philosophy well (* https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-February/043270.html ) (though I've only added <10 tags for that https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/sleepable%3Aphysical )


I created a simple pic4review misson, which you can duplicate if you want. ( https://pic4review.pavie.info/#/mission/1313 ). You could also suggest a StreetComplete quest

There was some reddit threads:
