Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: nextdoor.com?

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hello all -

This is one of those inventive ideas that I suggest for people seeking 
community where they live RIGHT NOW.  

One of my friends has gotten involved in nextdoor.com.  I was fixin’ to write 
about it in the Mid Atlantic Cohousing newsletter but this is a great 
opportunity to start a thread.

As I understand nextdoor.com, this software puts you in touch w/ neighbors near 
you seeking connection.  I think this is very cool. Whatever increases 
connection among neighbors is terrific.    What happens after the connections 
are made and the 50 homes identified becomes dependent on those who are in the 
group.  This has some of the flavor of The Villages or Meetup.

Chris  — how do you see this being used to create cohousing?
