Some initial thoughts:

There's an extra 1/10th of the "Log in" button in Opera 9.62.

I don't like how the box on the right side of the home page looks like a pushed in button. The front page doesn't stand up and scream that you're offering something I want -- try updating the design. CSS Zen Garden is a great resource for inspiration.

Sounds like you have an interesting idea there. Have you thought about selling the service instead of offering it for free? I'd imagine you could get home owners associations and other similar organizations to pay for access.

I have, I've played with various different ideas for generating revenue, but I think anything that charges for a community or for membership is doomed to fail. I'm going after hyper-local advertising. Members of a community can buy a banner ad for $4/month, and there's a nifty banner ad creator to make it easy.
