Hanging out the laundry

I can remember my mom hanging clothes out on the line to dry.
We had a clothes dryer but she sometimes decided to place the nicer clothes out on the clothes line instead of tossing them in the dryer.
Our neighbor did the same. She even had two "T" shaped metal posts with the lines strung in between. Another neighbor had a post with a contraption on top where multiple lines circled one another.
Heck, I hang clothes out to dry sometimes too.
I just read a story about a Pennsylvania woman who has received warnings from her housing association asking her to stop drying her clothes outside. She also received two anonymous letters saying they didn't want to see her "underwear flapping about."

U.S. residents fight for the right to hang laundry

For the record, she hangs her unmentionables inside, according to the Reuters story published Nov. 18.
"They said it made the place look like trailer trash," she said, in her yard across the street from a row of neat, suburban houses. "They said they didn't want to look at my 'unmentionables.'"
There's now a group called the Project Laundry List who argues "people can save money and reduce carbon emissions by not using their electric or gas dryers."
The main opponents of the group are housing associations such as condominiums and townhouse communities.
The opponents say the no-hanging rules are an aesthetic issue since people in those type of communities don't want to see other people's laundry hanging on the line.
Good grief. With all the hoopla about "going green" and saving the planet what's up with the "thou shall not hang" people? Hybrid cars good, using the power of the sun and wind to dry clothes bad.
Let me know what you think. Let's grind.
