- bombcar 3y agoPutting your own furniture on your own property is usually quite legal. You do need to have a plan to dispose of it if nobody snags it, however.

- enobrev 3y agoVery true. This process went much faster in Brooklyn. But also there were more people willing to pay for decent-quality things. It hasn't been bad in Chicago, but definitely slower and the prices have to be lower for used things.
- datameta 3y agoYeah stooping culture blew up during covid. My apartment is furnished with two couches that I picked up for free (both within my building actually). I'm going to estimate having stooped up to 10K worth of stuff since 2020 (almost all of it in astonishingly good shape), including plants, kitchen appliances, kitchen table and chairs, dressers, coat racks, a door sized painting (it might actually be a door as a canvas), etc. I have also given away things like my TV and living room console, one of those couches, medium fridge, plants, etc. It's a pleasure to give and receive. It prevents perfectly good, clean, functioning things from meeting an early end at the landfill simply because selling it ends up being more of a challenge than expected. Never imagined such a communal barter system to spring up in the modern day.

- enobrev 3y agoSame in Chicago. We can generally put things in the alley if it's not blocking anyone.
