Yeah it’s a double edged sword. On the one hand you know if your neighborhood is getting hit by package thieves, car-break-in’s, etc., on the other hand people walking disheveled in their sweats can get called out.

On the other hand this is a neighborhood app and is used differently in different neighborhoods. Tenderloin vs Nob Hill.

ha I just posted about Nextdoor Tenderloin. I live in a different neighborhood now and its a totally different community, very welcoming while also generally empathic to the desperate people doing actual illegal things and redirecting the angst from housed neighbors towards more productive empathy.
