About nAIghborly

Local spending,
returned to the neighborhood.

Customer making a purchase at a local business

nAIghborly is a neighborhood co-op that reroutes local advertising spend into direct rent credits for Culver City residents. Instead of paying Meta or Google to reach customers who already live next door, enrolled merchants contribute a small fee on each transaction — and that fee flows back into the community as monthly rent relief, posted directly to landlord ledgers via Yardi and RealPage before the 1st of every month.

Housing affordability in coastal California is not a zoning problem alone — it is a cash-flow problem, and nAIghborly addresses it at the transaction layer. By converting the everyday spending habits of a neighborhood into a coordinated rent-reduction engine, we give residents a tangible financial stake in the local economy without asking anyone to change how they shop, pay, or live.
