Field notes
The page describes neighborhood membership as verified at signup: members see only tools listed inside their own neighborhood, with first names and street names rather than addresses. Owners can mark availability, request optional deposits, and choose whether to lend free, charge, or sell; any money is settled directly between neighbors. The page labels Riss Lake its first live neighborhood but also reports zero homes there, so the local inventory appears not yet established.
