Comments
I would translate this to say something like, "Clothes lines can not be prohibited".
I live in a retirement community where the houses are very close. I already see the backs of houses and the residents usually display their we towels from the pool across chairs - if this passes we will see more than towels and personally I find that offensive.
Really? That's "offensive" to you? I find thousands of deaths from coal-burning power plants "offensive." Under this bill, your retirement community is free to prevent people from hanging their t-shirts, napkins, or other ghastly objects where you can see them.
