    19 states have some form of “right to dry” legislation, most of which would protect drying on patio space.

    Two points which I would like to interject here:

    1. OP (of either the post or comment above) may not be in the United States, and

    2. Even if they are, there are 50 states and 1 capital district. That means those 19 states only make up roughly a third of the United States. Odds are they are not in one of them.

      Fair enough.

      though, my understanding is that the opposition to clotheslines is a mostly US thing. Especially in places where the weather is warm year-round. (specifically its the HOA’s because HOA’s are the devil.)

      edit: also, there’s no state here that forbids the practice. (there may be cities that do, but I imagine those are in places like… florida. Government small enough to fit in your backyard.)

        That’s fair. I’m not personally knowledgeable about said rules; I just thought I’d point out those couple things.

        Agreed. I would say they need to go fuck themselves with a cactus, but really now. What did the cactus ever do to deserve that?

        My house is in an HOA. I’m not allowed to have a clothesline.

        I do anyway. It’s on my screened in porch, and not visible unless you’re climbing trees in my backyard. And if you are, fuck you, I’ll walk around naked all day if I goddamn well please.
