Reply to comment by diffraction-limited in [OC] Relation between the square meter price of an apartment and distance from Notre Dame de Paris in Paris and Ile-de-France by sudu1988

Price probably falls off faster than inverse square. The available space grows quadratically, but as you get further you lose more prestige, proximity with important landmarks etc.

True. But even if you use some mix of polynomials it might be still better to argue why, rather than using an exponential here no?

Sure! Deciding which model to use a posteriori based on the shape of the data is definitely not ideal.
