If they have private yards I say it's rediculous.. if they have lawn service for the whole development I understand..

You're not allowed to have clothes lines nor hang up clothes outside in senior citizens developments, including the one I live in. If you hang them up in your garage, your garage door is supposed to be closed so on one sees the clothes lines...

.That's life in the senior developments almost everywhere....

Sounds like a Nazi camp.  These associations feel they have the right to tromp on everyone's rights.    

Thats a little silly.. I mean if you want to hang um in your garage hang um!  lol.. but the lawn thing I can understand because they go whipping through the developments on their lawn mowers and don't need obstacles and I'd imagine they don't want to hear it from residents if they're blowing the leaves, dirt or whatever.. that they blew it on the clothes but actually in your garage?  That's private property

 Welcome to Dachau!   Since when did America become an armed camp of conservative people with brooms up their asses?  Since when is hanging out washed drawers so offensive?  It is economical,  green and promotes exercise for  the person doing it.  Fuck the neighbor association.

Hail Whitey Tidies!

Ofcourse it's a good thing to hang your laundry in your yard. And it gives the neighborhood that charming 3rd world barrio feel.

Many communites have this rule.. I lived in one .the yards were close and I remember one person was so annoyed they had to force the rule..He said he was sick of looking out his kitchen window and seeing the neigbors underwear hanging out instead of enjoying the trees.. I say ..rules are rules.. Move to a community you can hang on close line.. I lived in a condo where the association had no pets law.. I wanted a dog.. I had to move.. why it  was the rules

What some of us do is to put clothes on hangers and hang them on the shower curtain rods and have other indoor clothes lines. Especially in the winter time in our all electric homes, to save on electricity. No windows in the bathroom for them to peak in and to see our clothes hanging there..... Can also draw the drapes in the other rooms where the clothes are drying, too.

We are allowed to have one pet. When I moved here I had 3 cats. They just told me not to replace them when they die.  One did pass on and I still have two of the cats.The oldest one will be 12  next month and the other one will be 12 in the summertime. We're supposed to register our cats with the club house, along with giving them the make and license plates on our cars, too. Our township just requires the dogs to have licenses and not the cats. They even gave us a form to turn in a neighbor if we saw them doing anything against the rules and regulations, which some of us tore up and threw away. Because I grow tomatoes and veggies in containers I've been accused of deliberately feeding a groundhog by one of our trustees..... We're not allowed to feed the wild animals.

If you decide to move to one of these places, get a copy of the rules and regulations beforehand, to know what you'll be dealing with, with what you can and what you can't do.....

The mother of two told the TV station that the rule was put into effect until a year after she moved in.

If that's the case, she should have been "grandfathered". No one should be able to randomly take away rights you already had. The unit was purchased when clotheslines were still "legal". Why should she have to sell, esp in this economy, because some neighbor got their panties in a bunch?

Why are the neighbors so offended by laundry drying? Crazy people! She was able to hang her clothes when she moved in and she should still be able to hang her clothes.
