Vincent Privat posted on twitter of a gun shop across the road from a bank. WeeklyOSM reported it in №634. So it got me thinking. 🤔 And hacking. 🙂👩🏻‍💻

I built a new tool osm-distance-to-nearest which calculates “how close the nearest X is for every Y?”. When you download the OSM Planet File (~70GiB!), and run this command, you’ll get a CSV file for every shop=weapons in OSM, with how far away the nearest bank or ATM is.

osm-distance-to-nearest -i ~/osm/data/planet.osm.pbf -b amenity=atm,bank -a shop=weapons -o p_guns_bank_

Vincent’s case is a weapons shop Armurerie du Vieux Bourg de Kourou (node 2,992,825,744) which is 60m from an ATM operated by La Banque Postale (node 3,022,885,288). at 5° 9′ 55.134″ N 52° 38′ 28.9788″ W in Kourou.

But there are more than 300 weapon shops within 60 metres of a bank or ATM! There are many weapon sells next door to a bank. This is so practical! 🤣🤣 Full formatted table is in this comments.
