One Vogue writer shares her experience moving apartments during the pandemic.
was a resource, with empathetic Wednesday emails and spaces on offer by individuals, not brokers. When I posted my room there, I got immediate replies from a food writer, an employee of the U.N., and a student working on a digital art master’s at NYU. I had felt like such a villain for moving, but seeing these emails reminded me I wasn’t alone.

We rented a U-Haul—another contactless pickup!—and spent the weekend packing and ferrying our stuff, huffing down the stairs with our masks on. I kicked myself for my consumerism:
