Facebook Marketplace needs to stop showing me results that would make me cross a body of water
Briefly

"While I appreciate the ability to search collaboratively and for sustainable purposes, the geographic results can be misleading. For example, as downtown Brooklyn resident, searching within a 4-mile radius shouldn’t include items in New Jersey, especially when a body of water complicates travel. It’s frustrating when convenience to a waterway dilutes the true meaning of local."
"Facebook Marketplace's circular search radius may be mathematically convenient, but it doesn't account for real-world travel difficulties, like bodies of water and urban layouts that impede direct routes. For users, it often leads to wasted time narrowing down results that aren’t realistically accessible."
