<p>We currently have a "nearby" column in the users table, added in 2007:</p>
<pre><code>#  nearby              :integer          default(50)
</code></pre>
<p><a class="commit-link" href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/commit/0a8c26e596b40da6d428a5c91db0d815d13c89e4#diff-10aaef61b133f90c8313930f89fe7dac"><tt>0a8c26e</tt>#diff-10aaef61b133f90c8313930f89fe7dac</a></p>
<p>Is this required for anything? The <code>User.nearby</code> code <a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/app/models/user.rb#L199">doesn't appear to use it</a>.</p>
