I had the same experience as you. The Alameda, CA neighborhood I'm in was huge on ND. What I really didn't enjoy was all the forum complaining being directly delivered to my email box. NextDoor has a very large job in balancing the personal and personality that makes up neighborhoods and the impersonality of online discussions.

I'm also in Alameda and recently setup a email group and directory for our neighborhood that also has block parties and neighborhood watch meetings. Shoot me an email if you want to compare notes.

Hm, also in Alameda, but my neighborhood seems to be mostly ads. Seems to be really hit or miss.
