"There is no delight in owning anything unshared." --Seneca
NeighborGoods
If you have a lawnmower, you may use it for five to 10 minutes during a two-week span. The rest of the time it simply takes up space in the garage while your mower-less neighbors are fretting about the jungles of grass in front of their homes. NeighborGoods launched last week in Los Angeles as an online community that allows people to freely share, borrow, and lend the things they already own with the other people in their neighborhoods. In the event of an unreturned item, a lender could alert other users of his or her delinquent status, making it essentially a user-policed system. Eventually, if the LA launch is a success, NeighborGoods will appear in cities across the country.
