Someone in our hood wanting everyone in our hood to join. Any one use it or heard of it? Pros/cons?

Yep. Equal amount drama as news.

If you don't join, everybody else will talk about ya.

yer own semi private social media drama line......

joined. Good for while, and still has some useful info, but like everything else social media it deteriorates into arguments... join and watch the fun!

I'm signed up. Ain't no drama. Just usually folks asking about recommendations for who to call and fix stuff, lost/found pets and when strangers are roaming or selling stuff, and break-ins. And the Sheriff is linked in and shares crime information. It's all good on mine.

Never heard of it. I guess I don't have enough neighbors.

never heard of it either

Pretty much same experience in my area. Crime information is helpful; you become very aware how many car/home burglaries there are in what you would consider "safe" neighborhoods. Our street got hit, including my car, same week as vet was murdered at Lake Cyrus/Hoover. And, there is one way in out of street and every house has a street lamp.
If someone has something one on one to discuss; they got this cool thing called a PM

I signed up for it in our hood. If you think this place has drama, that Neighborhood app makes here look like a facility full of mutes on depressants.

I left after three days. Never heard so much bitching about just common stuff -- "Kid riding around with his music loud!" .. "Neighbor's daughter walked though my yard!" and much more.

Any possible helpful purpose of being a neighborhood watch kind of deal for folks with ill intent, crime or other was drowned out by the bitching.

We use it and it is fairly decent. Some whiners occasionally but no big deal. Wont be needing it anymore in less than a month.

Never heard of it, but my neighbors are cows in a pasture, so I'm probably fine.
