Apparently my city council has nothing better to do...
No indoor furniture outside, City Council says in 5-2 vote

Putting a worn-out couch outside on a porch or patio is usually considered an eyesore.
In Lincoln, it's now a crime.
The Lincoln City Council approved an amendment to the Lincoln Housing
Code on Monday with a 5-2 vote. The amendment prohibits residents from
placing indoor furniture outside... more

At least they know what's important for the town.
Wow! I can't believe that is a crime. What a crock!
That is the stupidest thing I ever heard of...well one of the many stupid things.....
People say it is stupid but obviously no one has really lived in a trailer park where you wonder what they put in their trailers 
After living in a trailer for years when I was growing up I am kind of surprised they just started this one.
I should also mention that the city will get hundreds of complaints over this. People will actually spend all day calling and sending letters to city hall about this eyesore. We have had cops come up to neighbors houses when I was a kid and tell them to do something about their "lawn" furniture.
The town where I went to college had that law. They also wouldn't let you park any cars on ANY lawn. I got a ticket once because I had ONE TIRE on the grass.
This isn't really anything new. A law was passed in Greeley after they had a riot & people used their furniture to start fires. http://www.greeleytribune.com/article/20010501/NEWS/105010009&parentprofile=search
It only takes a few rotten eggs to ruin the bunch it seems. I think it is a waste of time to pass such a law, but to play devil's advocate, I can understand it too. I guess if there is a need then the propsed law wasn't just for the heck of it.

That's a silly waste of time of theirs.
