Neighborhood Coordination
The strongest neighborhoods aren't the ones with the most stuff. They're the ones where people know each other, know who has what, and help each other without being asked.
The Coordination Multiplier
Your neighbor Marcus has a generator. Sarah has nursing experience. David has a truck. The Johnsons have spare bedrooms. You have a well-stocked pantry and love to cook.
Apart, each household has one thing. Together, through simple coordination, every household has access to all of it.
One year of weekly dinners with neighbors creates:
- Access to tools nobody had to buy twice
- Skilled hands through informal reciprocity — the nurse, the welder, the one who cooks for twenty
- Childcare that appears without a contract
- Emergency response measured in minutes, from people who actually know you
The meal costs an evening. What it builds, nobody has priced honestly — which is why we don't put a number on it. (Our working guess about the ratio of connection to capability is a labeled hypothesis, not a statistic.)
This only works because neighbors know each other. Coordination creates the knowing.

How Coordination Actually Works
Start With a Meal
Thursday dinners. Same time, same place, every week. Two neighbor families become four, then eight. No agenda, no meetings. Just food and faces.
Let Conversation Reveal
Over months, you learn who has what. The generator in garage three doors down. The nurse two houses over. The workshop behind the Millers' place. Knowledge accumulates naturally.
Make It Physical
Printed contact lists survive when phones die. A simple one-pager of who has what capabilities. Physical artifacts make the network real and durable.
Activate When Needed
Power out for four days? The dinner crew coordinates without thinking. Generator rotations, food sharing, elder check-ins. The network activates because trust already exists.
This Isn't Coming. It's Live.
The coordination layer used to be a promise on this page. Most of it shipped. It lives at Your Three — free, no account, no meetings.
Your Street as a Constellation
Name the three neighbors you could call at 2am and declare who-has-what across twelve capability axes. Your street renders as an honest night sky: what you know shines, what you don't is fog.
Lantern Links — Live Now
Hand a neighbor a one-time link. When they claim it, your bond turns mutual on both skies. You choose what they can see, axis by axis, and either side can blow the lantern out.
Neighborhood Maps — Still Ahead
Anonymized capability density in your area — knowing that three streets over, someone else is building too. This one is genuinely not built yet; the signup below is its waiting room.
The Waiting Room for Neighborhood Maps
The connection tools are live above. The maps — anonymized capability density near you — are the one piece still ahead. Leave an email and ZIP and we'll write exactly once, when they exist.

What You Can Do Now
Take Your Assessment
Understand your household's current capabilities across all domains. Know your gaps before you try to coordinate with others.
Start Assessment →Start Thursday Dinners
Pick two neighbors. Thursday at 6pm. Just food and conversation. The network builds itself from there.
Read the Guide →Build a Radio Network
Four FRS radios distributed to neighbors. Weekly check-ins. Communication that works when phones don't.
Communication Guide →Print Your Contact List
Physical artifacts survive digital failure. A laminated card with neighbor names and numbers. Simple, but rare.
Explore Scenarios →Father Tree generates fierce abundance. Mother Mycelium distributes gentle care.
Coordination is how neighborhoods become both.
