The problem is that $~ (and related vars) and $_ are scoped to the nearest method body.

We have a couple of nice restaurants, but the nearest city with a mall is 1.5 hours away by bus.

Is it ridiculously hard to go to the nearest university and ask a physics professor if an idea is even plausible?

The nearest junction with an A road is about 3 miles away, following the road.

Augmented reality applications, such as New York Nearest Subway, are available in a nascent form on smartphones.

As an extreme example, a k-nearest-neighbors classifier is a model that consists of nothing except verbatim examples from the training set, but that doesn't mean it's always overfit.

However, the nearest road does appear to be 500 metres away (much closer than three miles).

The next junction along that road is about 2km away (still not 3 miles), and the nearest meaningful junction (i.e.

Average Distance to the Nearest Road in the Conterminous United States Surprised to actually find something while checking your claim!

Or they have too much luggage, or they live in rural areas that are hours away from the nearest major airport.

I grasp every opportunity to hold a meeting, stand on the nearest chair, strike a dramatic pose and shout "We are rewriting the loading system...

If you're not going to provide substantive feedback ("we felt like your performance on the nearest-neighbor problem was pretty rough and were looking for a more optimized solution") then just give the one liner and be done with it.
