What it does

Every month: malls, supermarkets and markets in your city, the ATMs and banks within 500 m of each, the 20 with the fewest, then the 10 of those with the most people around, emailed and mapped.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Cairo, find shopping malls, supermarkets and markets in the area, count the ATMs and banks within 500 m of each, sort them by nearby_count and keep the top 20, count who lives around, sort them by population and keep the top 10, then email the list to you and show them on a map.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 9 blocks.
