Duplicate businesses not an issue? #72

Open StephenAnokye94 opened 11 months ago

I am noticing many duplicates in the place_id of the businesses, which is not a big deal in this scenario, but I am considering using a smaller search radius around the neighborhoods to see if the number of duplicates will reduce.

I think the duplicates are probably a result of bordering neighborhoods with the same businesses within their radius. This is why I do not think it is a problem.

Does anyone have any comment concerning this?

Would this require extra data cleaning in the long run?

No this will not require extra data cleaning. It will be more straightforward if it becomes necessary
