One of us grew up in hippie-dippy NorCal, the other in libertarian-nutjob Alaska so Neighborrow is right up our alley.

The concept: Facilitate the sharing of resources with your community. You create a profile, find a ‘neigborrowhood’ to join, list a few tools and stuff you offer to share, get access to what others in the ‘hood are making available. The promise: The collective gets stuff done without buying more stuff. The challenge: Logistics of connecting to get the ‘stuff’ and making sure people don’t take it/ruin it/sell it on Craigslist.

We have no idea if it will work — but we created a CHS Capitol Hill neighborrowhood and have put up our list of assets to share including a canoe, soccer nets, a ladder, a cordless drill, a ladder, a push mower, an electric weed whacker, a fishing pole and, yes, a crappy old Toyota pick-up. Basically, everything you’d need for a fun weekend in NorCal or nutjob Alaska.
