Median-Priced Listing in Each Neighborhood
Problem
Table: `Listing`
```text
+--------------+---------+
| Column | Type |
+--------------+---------+
| listing_ref | int |
| neighborhood | varchar |
| price | int |
+--------------+---------+
listing_ref is the primary key.
```
For each neighborhood, return the row (or rows) holding the **median price**. When a neighborhood has an odd number of listings there is one median row; when it has an even number there are two. Sort prices ascending to find the middle, and break ties on equal prices by `listing_ref` ascending. Return the columns `listing_ref`, `neighborhood`, `price` in any order.
