[OSM-talk] Too subjective & problematic Re: no-go-areas

[Rory McCann]

This topic has come up before, and unfortunately when you think about 
it, there is no objective way to define a "no go area". It's all 
subjective. So it doesn't belong in OSM.

People do live in many of these areas, so software that didn't route 
in/through these areas would be pretty bad for people who need to go there!

Plus, "no go areas" are often correlated with where ethnic minorities or 
different classes live, which is not good.
