I don't understand why hyperlocal news hasn't succeeded yet, after 8 years of it being talked about. I'm VERY interested in what's happening in my neighborhood, if my neighbor's house was vandalised, or there was a violent dispute or something else. Same thing happened in some other city? Less interested. Some other country? Not interested.

Is Nextdoor an option for you? Between that and Ring's neighborhood alerts with video/photos, I find it much easier to stay current on neighborhood news than I did before.

No, Nextdoor is available only in some developed countries. What's Ring? Google searches didn't work.

Ring is a digital doorbell. Looks like they also have a "neighborhood watch" app: https://ring.com/neighborhoods
