I love this story about clotheslines. I remember as a kid, even though we owned a dryer, having to hang out clothes on the line and bring them in. I think it was because mom was frugal, but also because the clothes were fresher and dried faster on the line.
I have no beef with people wanting to hang out their clothes to dry. I noted that our new neighbors had strung up a short line and had some baby clothes up there last week (between storms). Then yesterday I was walking between the houses and saw their dryer exhaust coming out--hints of "Mountain Breeze" or something. Either way, it doesn't bother me.
It does bother homeowners who like to join associations and make lots of rules about what their neighbors can and cannot do. I suppose we have to honor such agreements to some extent, but I wouldn't be too hung up about a ban on clothesline bans.
