In this photo illustration, Nextdoor, the neighborhood app, is seen on a mobile phone on April 29, 2021 in New York City. Nextdoor is the app where you plug into the neighborhoods that matter to you. Neighbors turn to Nextdoor daily to receive trusted information, give and get help, and build real-world connections with those nearby — neighbors, local businesses, and public agencies (Cindy Ord/Getty Images for Nextdoor)
