My name is Phil, the creator of LiveNearFriends. I live near within a short walk of a dozen of friends. We eat meals together, care for each other, and now are raising kids together. Living near friends has made my life joyful and easy. I want others to experience the same (with less work than it took me). So I created LiveNearFriends. Living near a single friend or family member can dramatically increase your happiness. One Harvard study reckons up to 50% happier. We make it easy to find both *
Interesting! I've always thought living closer to friends would be ideal. Love the idea of a tool to make that easier! I wonder if post pandemic we might see a trend towards people wanting to live closer to their community.
This is great! Such a simple way to encourage something that’s so important and meaningful. Beautifully done.

Phil knows communal living perhaps better than anyone I know and it makes a ton of sense that he'd be the one to build this. Love the idea!
