Vice swap: new website lets members swap less used goods

Los Angeles – Drills, vices, ladders and saws – most of the time all they do is sit in the garage doing nothing. That could be about to change in Los Angeles though, with the launch of new online network NeighborGoods.

Connecting people with other locals who live nearby, the site aims to help people cut unnecessary tool purchases by enabling them share with those who already have one, and provide a platform for them meet too (presumably to talk DIY?).

This idea of communal living is discussed further in our report on the future of the home.
