My review
July 19, 2019

What i find useful
Neighborhood news: stores opening, closing, development updates, scams, behavior to be alert to
What I don't find useful:
Endless trails of comments on an issue, e.g. the bernal hill neighbors and their fence, where people don't read the entire thread; snarky comments are shot back and forth: lots of heat and very little light

I first joined in because lost dog tracking was my biggest concern. Later, it seemed a very good vehicle to inform people about a book sale by my library friends group. It serves as a crime watch resource while others use it to vent on issues they feel strongly about. It is a vast network with a neighborhood perspective.

Great for local info and help
July 19, 2019

I have been very pleased with Nextdoor. It is very good for all types of information. If you need help, post it and you will probably get help. Ask a question and you will most likely get an answer. The answer may not always be right, but someone will give an answer with several other replies pointing you in the right direction. Love being a member.

North Park communicates
July 19, 2019

For the most part it's a great way to interact and communicate with other NP residents and businesses. I wish we could read ALL of North Park posts in addition to our individual little neighborhood. I would like to see that change. Some posters really get intense in their opinions and resort to volatile outbursts and that gets to be a little much, but I can block them so I don't see it, so that's good. All in all, my experience has been good.

The Nextdoor site and app is helpful in learning what's going on in my neighborhood. It's nice to be able to filter which posts you want to receive and if I don't want to read something I just simply delete the notification

I've thoroughly enjoyed using Nextdoor. I've bought stuff, given away free stuff, stayed informed about town events, and exchanged ideas with neighbors. Unfortunately, after moving from the Pottersville section to the Americana Terrace section, my husband updated his address and now he can't get updates from other parts of our community- just Americana Terrace. We can't figure out how to fix this! Please help.

Mostly a great experience with neighbors helping neighbors. A few that get judgmental or too passionate in their responses to each other. Would be nice to have a polite warning to stop it before feelings get out of control

Great site
July 19, 2019

I have a cleaning business and I also am involved in Stream Energy and Wireless. I have my names on the business page and have received quite a few requests forcleaning and a few for my energy business. I think its a great site for that as well as all the other things neighbors post. We belong to a network group and have shown the group how to use the site. I also like the fact that its your neighboring areas and you get recommendations and can give them to help out others.

Too much conflict and Arguing
July 19, 2019

To many political discussions which always turn into a huge argument not a debate. The topics should not include politics as we all
Know it is a set up for disaster.
People are rude, hateful, judgemental
And plain mean.
I only look at the stuff for sale now.
I can no longer engage with Thea conversation. Nextdoor used to be fun.

I appreciate notes about lost animals and possible crime but not politics. Also people helping people and providing advice on certain situations is valuable.

The Pros and Cons
July 19, 2019

The pros of Nextdoor are: great for info on neighborhood events, crime, lost pets, seeking recommendations, seeking help, listing items for free or for sale and general 'stuff'.
The cons of Nextdoor are: becoming a platform for debate regarding all manner of issues with posts sometimes being quite negative and judgmental in nature.
I realize this is an open forum, which allows any of us to exercise our right of free speech. Just find it frustrating at times and don't believe it is the purpose or spirit of Nextdoor.

A Handy Tool, For the Most Part
July 19, 2019

I find most posts I read and/or contribute to informative and interesting and quickly leave those that have picked up people who clearly just want to argue with someone. I love being able to share plants with my neighbors when I thin my garden; sell things in good condition that we longer use and give away other things. I've actually made friends through Nextdoor and would miss it if it went away!

Too many repetitive stories as content on the site. Needing to have a minimum of 100 characters explains the problem precisely. R

Overall I have had a very favorable experience with Next-door from recommendations for various and sundry services to awareness of neighborhood crimes and items for sale. What I dislike are the people who tear down others for voicing their opinion on certain subjects -- Tree of Life shootings and Giant Eagle reconfiguration at Penn and Shady. I have felt the need to mute certain individuals for their remarks which are uncalled for and downright hateful. I believe that in person these types of exchanges would not occur but hiding behind a keyboard makes it ok. That is the only downside to Next-door that I have perceived.
