This was my favorite: “I’ll be laying 30 more squares of sod tomorrow in honor of the HOA. Maintaining a lawn in Florida is Sisypheun, hubristic, and several other things never anticipated by the Greeks.”

In general – the consensus seemed to be that HOA’s are a bit dim and far from energy friendly!

I’m with Sarah. It’s anti-freedom. It’s anti-American. It’s small-minded nonsense to prohibit something as useful and inoffensive as a washing line.

I want YouTube videos of people standing up and defending clothesline bans without sounding like they have a stick shoved up somewhere unmentionable.

I reeeeeally want to see that. 😉

I’d prefer more personal character…freedom to get artistic, grow gardens, paint houses unusual colors… alas…

Wish I saw a few clothing lines in my SF hood. I bet it’s against the homeowner association codes. The same codes mandate uninterrupted front lawns and no fences. The sight of big britches flapping in the wind would be like a bee in the bonnet.

That’s the height of big govt preposterousness! I mean, it’s like “keep your laws off my body…and out of my backyard too!”
