Fedi Geczy, owner of DesignCraft Inc. does absolutely excellent work. We had Fedi do built-in bookcases for an office renovation and also a fireplace mantel, flanked by bookcases and cabinetry. Both are beautiful jobs, delivered on schedule, at a reasonable price. Fedi is a thorough professional -- an honest craftsman and artist who takes enormous pride in his work, He consults with you carefully and will advise if you wish on everything from design to colors and lighting. We were thoroughly happy with his work and recommend him without reservation. If you need any kind of cabinetry or cabinetry-related work, you cannot do better than Fedi Geczy and DesignCraft Inc.

They just decide, blocked, and removed postings at the whims and fancies! Their own interpretation however they like. See this post below! What so disrespectful about my comments?

A woman posted a comment about how her voice was recorded without her knowledge and forwarded to an insurance company. She was telling everyone to beware. A man jumped into the comment thread talking about J6, president Trump and the benefits of surveillance. I told him I couldn't talk to him about these matters as this is not what the thread is about. I told him we should specifically talk about the ladies concerns. He said I was trolling him. I got banned for 2 weeks bc I refused to talk about Trump, public surveillance and J6

Bullied out
December 26, 2016

I belonged to Nextdoor for almost one year and finally got bullied into leaving. I tried flagging the posts that were degrading, nasty, and falsely accusatory. But nothing ever came of any flagging actions. Several of them men virtually started hounding me because of my reports and accounting of the lack of local policing of criminal reports in our local neighborhoods. The level of nasty and degrading posts that were made about me were digusting. After flagging the posts, nothing happened. I got so disgusted and humiliated that I deactivated my account. Not worth it!.

Affiliate of HOAs
October 24, 2018

The next door app is not autonomous so I used to think. I criticized my HOA for not living up to their ordinance and next thing I saw was suspension of my account. I thought they exist to promote communication among communities, not knowing they serve HOAs.

I was a huge fan in the beginning. I actually volunteered to recruit my neighbors. Now I'm emailing all of them to suggest they leave Nextdoor and offering them good reason why. The top three reasons for this are censorship, censorship, censorship. They are a left-wing bastion of liberal ideas and anything posted that's pro Trump, or offering an alternative opinion about COVID - even backed by scientific articles - get removed if they aren't supportive of the leftist position. On a Zoom call this weekend with my neighbors, one of them told a story about how he did business with Nextdoor and how they knickled and dimed him and then, in the end, didn't even want to pay what they agreed upon.

The two "Lead" of this website are married. She is the president of HOA. The husband has recently cyber-bullied an older lady, member of the comunity that lives alone, single, needs hearing aids and has no one to help her. The second Lead (The wife) wouldn't/couldn't do anything to stop him. Actually some jerks on the website, thanked him for treating the lady that way... while victim publicacly begged for "someone" to stop him. Shameful! I personally complained with Nextdoor HQ: they'll take measures that they can't discuss with me. The couple are still the "Lead". No results. Reign of terror!

I restore bikes and sell on Craigslist and Next Door. Craigslist is where you get about 15-20% no shows, or false leads-- i. E. people who send you email and phone calls, but are really not honestly interested in what is for sale- they're just killing time and your patience- Next Door has about 50% responses like, "Is this still available?" and no follow up. For people, Next Door is like channel surfing on their TV. (Really, it's at least 50% or more) When you answer "yes", you simply never hear from them again. People simply love using their cell phones, and their idea of a good time is this dead end inquiry, "Is this still available?". Like poking their head out the front door, "Hey, I wonder if this sun came up today..." HALF CURE: At the top of my ads I now put "IF YOU SEE THIS AD, IT'S STILL AVAILABLE"- This prevents SOME people from asking "Is this still available" - but not all. Unbelievable really. Use your frontal lobes- http://www.BrainRadar.com

I am not on this vile site, but was targeted by a nextdoor members. I was driving near my home when I came upon two bike riders. They say me and moved to the side of the road. I moved over into the oncoming lane, to give them plenty of room. I pulled in my driveway and the two bikers pasted my home. Hours later I was contacted by a friend about a post on nextdoor, about me. Warning people about the crazy old kootand my driving. Inaddition my address was given. Addtional post called me a damagerous person. This site is for people with no backbone. When Sharon t pasted my house she could have stop to talk to me about what she thought happened, but instead she hides behind her computer. I've tried to get the post removed, but nextdoor has done nothing. They don't vet posts, so its anything goes. This is the cesspool of social media, stay away!

Informative about local information, events and personal referrals. We also like that we can post things for sale or advertise a rental house that could be available.

You mention meneighbor.com as a possible alternative to NextDoor. Went online and read meneighbor. Coms privacy policy - They collect your personal information and monitor you just as NextDoor does. Its all scary turning over permission to any entity to invade ones contacts, email, personal information and activities. Why do they want it? To sell to anyone willing to pay is bad enough, but there could be even worse reasons. I will keep looking for an app that doesnt do these things, but it will probably will be a subscription/pay for service site, but thats ok. Nothing is free and Id rather pay for a neighborhood service that is not personally invasive and that isnt really in business to data mine my personal information and sell it - or worse.

Waste of time
February 7, 2017

My neighborhood has 698 individuals on a closed group Facebook page, and someone decided to send these invitations out I signed up because I like the fact that the addresses are verified, but all I see are useless posts and nobody responds to anything, whereas people are really active on the closed group Facebook page. Bye-Bye useless Nextdoor.

Policy Violation
November 29, 2016

I am an active user on Nextdoor. I was updating my info and somehow I messed up my last name. I received an email from Nextdoor saying I violated their guidelines and they deactivated my account. I immediately replied with my correct spelling of my last name and nothing. Still locked out of my account. I've contacted them about fixing it and nothing. Why resort to deactivating my account? Why not tell me I need to fix it within 24 hours or it will be deactivated? Especially if they don't do anything when I give them the info so they can fix it. What a joke.

I moved to Nextdoor after Streetlife closed and it's just not the same. The conversations are boring and scarce. I also don't like the fact it displays which street you live on. I live on a short street, it has 4 houses on it. Pretty easy for someone to figure out where I live even after taking my house no. Off. That limits what I can/can't post and I'm not keen on that at all - I don't trust people who I don't know and they shouldn't know where I live.

For anyone looking for a replacement for Streetlife in the UK try Scooploop! It doesn't compromise your privacy in the way Nextdoor does and it's easier to use than the other alternatives I've tried. It only asks you for your postcode and doesn't display that or your full name to anyone which I like. It's run by people in the UK, it's based in London I think. You don't need to faff about adding your own location in either 'cause it does that automatically. I think it'll be the best alternative.

After giving Nextdoor a try (Business Account) I had one local neighbor private message me not happy that I promote my business. I blocked that user. 1 month later my business account was locked for 30 days for promotion my business on a BUSINESS PAGE?
We support businesses as a business owner and admin two FBook pages that allow businesses to promote their business. I don't understand entities that do not support growth. As soon as I am able to get back in I will be deleting my account.

If you hold a conservative view you will be permanently suspended. Just supporting a Republican fundraiser has offended someone on $#*! door and they banned me.

I can't understand how ND (fort Myers) moderators that complain about posts on general feed should not be political but look the other way with the rightwing posts, these come camouflaged with Nobel claims of prayers for falling soldiers and others directly promoting anti vaccines or maga events, when challenged, assertiveness is reported as bullying
