There are many rules and regulations that need to be cut through. Staying with friends in Hawaii, I asked where we could drop our towels. They said they had to go into the drier, it was against the rules to have clothes drying on the balcony. So to satisfy some idiotic idea of aesthetics, we're going to burn electricity instead of just using the sun?
- masklinn 7y agoThat sounds like rules (condo / HOA) rather than regs. > So to satisfy some idiotic idea of aesthetics, we're going to burn electricity instead of just using the sun? Yep, common condo / HOA issue.
- javagram 7y agoYeah. Some states have passed laws preventing this nonsense. People are so worried about looking “poor” that they waste electricity on the dryer rather than using the sun to dry their clothes. I mentioned using a clothesline once to someone else in the USA, who was shocked and responded they weren’t poor and wouldn’t want their neighbors to be scandalized by drying clothes in the sun. There at least are 19 states in the USA that have passed laws outlawing solar drying bans, unfortunately I think most of these laws only apply to homeowners and not to rented apartments.
