Where to build padel courts

What it does

When planning a padel club: sports complexes and tennis clubs in your city with how many adults live around and how many padel courts are within 3 km, the fewest first.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Lyon, find sports complexes and tennis clubs in the area, count who lives around, count the padel courts within 2 km of each, sort them by nearby_count and keep the top 15, then show them on a map and email the list to you.

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: 8 blocks.
