To Susan Taylor, it was a perfect time to hang her laundry out to dry. The 55-year-old mother and part-time nurse strung a clothesline to a tree in her backyard, pinned up some freshly washed flannel sheets -- and, with that, became a renegade. The regulations of the subdivision in which Ms. Taylor lives effectively prohibit outdoor clotheslines. In a move that has torn apart this otherwise tranquil community, the development's managers have threatened legal action. To the developer and many residents, clotheslines evoke the urban blight they sought to avoid by settling in the Oregon mountains. "This bombards the senses," interior designer Joan Grundeman says of her neighbor's clothesline. "It can't possibly increase property values and make people think this is a nice neighborhood." Ms. Taylor and her supporters argue that clotheslines are one way to fight climate change, using the sun and wind instead of electricity. "Days like this, I can do multiple loads, and within two hours, it's done," said Ms. Taylor. "It smells good, and it feels different than when it comes out of the dryer." Clothes dryers account for 6% of total electricity consumed by U.S. households, third behind refrigerators and lighting. "I don't want my neighbors to be offended if they see laundry hanging out" One neighbor asked if it was temporary. Next came a phone call -- and then a series of letters -- from Brooks Resources. The first letter, dated June 12, warned that "laundry lines are not permitted in the Awbrey Butte Subdivision," adding that "many owners in Awbrey Butte take great pride in their home and surrounding areas." Fuck you. |

why use a dryer? it consumes almost as much energy as a bloody oven. the weather you experience is, on average, very hot. how can you be so comfortable with being so lazy? |

I hang my wet clothes up on a rack wardrobe thing and leave them by an open window, they're usually dry by the time I get back from work and they don't need much ironing either. |

I hang my clothes too. Outside and inside. I don't think its ghetto, but many people do. |
||||||||

It is more difficult but I find its much better for your clothes (oh yea, and the earth) |

"It smells good, and it feels different than when it comes out of the dryer." Agree. Peoples need a hobby or something when they get all fucked over by a fucking clothesline (!) ;[ |

to be fair, its the woman's own fault for not actually reading her lease and being aware that there were stupid rules to begin with and then trying to do something about it. as it stands, she broke a stupid law unwittingly and will be punished for it. thank god for that because otherwise the terrorists would win. |
