Meaning you have no code? We have no idea how you reference houses or buildings or population, so don't complain if this doesn't fit... it does, however, answer the question:

if(get_dist(building, house) == 9)
pop += 2

Skysaw ya thats why I was hoping for him to give me his code so I could use the right vars. :) oh well.

You need to be a lot more specific in your question.

Are you asking whether a specific building is 9 tiles away, or just any building of a specific type like /obj/bldg/restaurant? When you ask if it's 9 tiles away, do you mean exactly 9 tiles, 9 tiles or less, or 9 tiles or more? Do you want house.pop to increase by 20 for each building of a given type that meets the criteria, or just add 20 once if at least one such building is found?

Exactly... that's what I was referring to. I'm just waiting for him to come back and ask why the code I gave him doesn't work in his game. :-)

Sand
icon = 'Turf.dmi'
icon_state = "Sand"
Click()
if(usr.build_type)
if(usr.build_type == /turf/Residental)
if(usr.Cash <= 100)
usr << "You do not have enough cash."
if(usr.Cash >= 100)
usr.Cash -= 100
Pop += 20
new usr.build_type(src)
if(usr.build_type == /turf/PowerPlant)
usr.Cash -= 5000
new usr.build_type(src)
for(var/turf/Residental/T in oview(9))
if(src.loc==T)
Pop += 20

obj
items
PowerPlant
icon_state = "PowerPlant"
New(client/C)
screen_loc = "2,3"
C.screen+=src
var/newtype = /turf/PowerPlant //or whatever type you want
Click()
usr.build_type = newtype

The obj/items/powerplant is a hub menu. The turf/sand is where you can place it. i want it so it increases the pop by 20 for every house found in a 9 tile area of the power plant.
