Nextdoor depends on where you live and who you live near. I've learned a lot about my city and local politics from my neighbors. It's a great place to get recommendations for local contractors. I live with a lot of nice people around and I appreciate getting the exposure to that.
There are definitely stories about needle sightings, break-ins, and package thefts, but I've found needles at the park and I've even had police come to my door asking about a dead body found nearby in a tarp. It's not like staying off of Nextdoor really stops my exposure to bad things, but I do get to learn more about my neighbors and keep in touch with what's going on in the 'hood.
- whenchamenia 7y agoYour local forums are better. If you lack them, they are easy to setup and can become a small business.
- thebigspacefuck 7y agoCan you point me to an example of a successful local forum? There's Craigslist for buying/selling items and the local subreddit for discussions, but both of those encompass the wider area of the city as opposed to the neighborhood.
