Want to create one for your city? Here is the source: https://github.com/jeffkaufman/apartment_prices
The guy who wrote Padmapper says this tool puts a pretty heavy load on his server and he
would rather it was run no more than once a month. If you're just looking for some
apartment data, I've put some in apts-2013-01-29, which is for Boston in January 2013.
That would be awesome.
The current code drawing code is probably too slow for this, though.
Euclidian distance away from: shops, travel, crime?
Anyone know of any papers?
The Manhattan and Euclidean distance on finite spaces both generalize to "l_p norms" (1 and 2, respectively) on an n-dimensional Euclidean space, where ||x||_p = (|x_0|^p + |x_1|^p + ... + |x_n|^p)^(1/p). You can even naturally define it in the limit where p goes to infinity!
