Cabin

Cabin is more than a digital tool—it's a movement to physically reconnect people by empowering them to build neighborhoods where collaboration, care, and creativity can flourish. The platform operates a globally distributed network of neighborhoods, where each is aligned by a shared ethos and supported by a set of principles known as the “Obvious Truths.”

These truths emphasize ideas such as living near friends, valuing action over talk, encouraging intergenerational co-living, spending time in nature ("Touch Grass"), and building with an eye toward the long term ("Play Infinite Games"). Through these cultural touchstones, Cabin sets a new precedent for how communities can form in a decentralized and values-aligned way.

The Neighborhood Accelerator Program is Cabin’s cornerstone initiative, guiding new communities through the process of forming intentional neighborhoods. Participants are equipped with guidance, resources, and peer support to help transform friendship networks into deeply rooted, place-based communities. Success stories have emerged from places like Venice Beach, New York, Austin, and global cities across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Unlike platforms such as Numo (focused on remote co-living) or Coliving.com (short-term housing), Cabin is community-first and culture-driven, focused not just on where you live—but who you live with and how you thrive together. It’s not just about shared space, but shared purpose.

The Cabin City Directory showcases neighborhoods from California to Portugal, Honduras to Japan, providing a transparent look at how decentralized urbanism is unfolding. Anyone can browse, list, or connect with these communities, making the dream of living with aligned values more accessible than ever.

Cabin offers a suite of powerful tools and cultural principles that support decentralized neighborhood creation:

• Neighborhood Accelerator Program: A guided process to help friends build sustainable, values-aligned neighborhoods.
• Global City Directory: Discover or list neighborhoods worldwide, all connected through Cabin’s decentralized network.
• Values-Driven Community Design: Built around five “Obvious Truths” for creating meaningful, resilient local communities.
• Local Events & Meetups: Cabin supports IRL gatherings, creative residencies, and community storytelling experiences.
• DAO-Friendly Architecture: Cabin’s networked neighborhoods operate like micro-DAOs, enabling governance and collaboration.
• Supportive Culture: An emphasis on co-creation, reciprocity, and long-term thinking guides everything from decisions to daily living.
