I can't say why it would ignore the first index in this particular JOIN, but you might as well discard both of those hash indexes. Also, people_pkey_hash_loc is basically pointless anyway, as the database can use the first column in a multi-column index as if it were a single column index.

I *can* ask you why you're using HASH indexes, though. They're not WAL logged, so they can't be replicated, and they're also not crash safe.
