Re: Laundry
Is it bad that I find it funny that after all the ridiculously encroaching laws regarding what you can do with/on your OWN property - people bitch about hanging laundry outside?
That's what you get for living in the suburbs.

Re: Laundry
How are you supposed to sniff the hot girl next door's underwear if she's not allowed to hang it outside?

Re: Laundry
Several things on this one. First is why does this gal have to hang the clothes in her front yard? When I was a kid I would bet that easily 50% of homes in the Pacific Northwest had clothes lines. Never saw one in the front yard though. At least not in the cities. Out on the farms, once in a while, but usually in the back or side yard, if they had what you would call a yard at all. The guy that put up his clothesline in the common area of a condo complex, well, wtf was he thinking? He put it out in everyone's area, not his own personal property. Most folks who move into condos are looking for a fairly specific lifestyle. That's why they have associations and conveyances attached to the property. It's your duty to actually read the paperwork that goes along with your buying/leasing/renting a property.
ON THE OTHER HAND...
When I was a kid I would bet that easily 50% of homes in the Pacific Northwest had clothes lines. Nobody considered it low rent or indicative of trailer trash. It was normal life. Into the 90's, nearly all of your fabric softener and laundry detergent ads and commercials compared what their products did for your wash gave you that line dried feel and smell, which was apparently the ultimate goal in doing laundry. Even then they were touting line drying your clothes as energy saving. That part is nothing new.
I ABHOR laws that tell you what you can and can't do with or on your own property. I can understand folks objecting to the gal doing it in her front yard. It's kind of tacky. Watching home improvement shows and the like however, it seems folks east of the Rockies don't believe in fences quite as much as those on the west coast. That makes it kind of hard to "hide" what you are doing, but perhaps she should still move it to the back out of respect for her neighbors. But she is not harming anyone else or their property, so unless she signed on to certain restrictions before buying that home, leave her be.
I have personally been affected by such property laws. Trust me, if you can avoid it, NEVER register a vehicle in California. If you ever decide to pull it off the road to restore it, or for whatever reason, you are not allowed to keep it on your property if it is not running, in most municipalities. Not even in your garage. The city will give you a ticket, and then use the power of the state to collect. They notify the DMV and unless you pay, you can't renew the registration. If you don't renew the registration, they turn it over to the franchise tax board. I researched this in Cali after they ticketed my '63 VW bus for being on the street, unregistered, no plates, and inoperable, as well as no visible VIN number. Last first, on an early VW bus, the VIN is BEHIND the front seat and in the engine compartment. There is no dash tag as in modern American vehicles. Second, no plates or current tags, and no visible VIN, yet they were able to discern that I owned the bus, and what the VIN was, AND THE LICENSE PLATE NUMBER. You know, the things they ticketed me for NOT having. Never mind the current tag that was on the plate they used to get my info. A week or so later, LA County Sheriffs dept. sent me a letter amending the ticket, taking away the no current tags or registration, but would not remove the no plates or that it was inoperable. I drove that bus nearly every fucking day for five years. It was NEVER down for more than two days while I worked on it. Had they bothered to come knock on the front door and ask a question or two, I would have gladly gotten in it and drove down the road. They would have seen that all the lights worked, it had seat belts where required, and even though it was slammed to just above legal limits, it still had an operable emergency brake. I would have shown them the pink slip and current registration, as well as the smog cert, that while it would run about a 12 to 13 second quarter mile, it ran cleaner than my '90 Toyota pickup. To this day they are still trying to collect those tickets. With interest it's now close to 3 grand, even though I sold the vehicle in 1999 because I couldn't register it.

Re: Laundry
Who cares what kind of laundry someone hangs out in his garden, be it at the front of at the back? About 100 years ago is was customary to hang people for being black. And now it isn't allowed to even hang clothes anymore?
If word gets out that I'm missing, 500 girls will kill themselves and I wouldn't want them on my conscience - not when they ought to be on my face!
