- jmclnx 2y agoHere you go, came up in a simple google search :) https://www.livinggreenandfrugally.com/drying-your-clothes-on-a-clothesline-banned-in-19-states/ https://www.livinggreenandfrugally.com/drying-your-clothes-o...
- tacticalturtle 2y agoThat site is mistaken. I live in Massachusetts and can tell you with certainty you are not banned from having a clothesline, notwithstanding an HOA rule in place. In fact, the states given by that page are all listed as “right to dry” states - meaning associations do not have the right to ban clotheslines: https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/20_right_to_dry_states_outlaw_clothesline_bans_is_yours_among_them https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/20_right_to_dry_stat... Although note this information isn’t accurate either - because Massachusetts never passed it’s right to dry law - it got stuck in committee: https://malegislature.gov/Bills/190/S1117 https://malegislature.gov/Bills/190/S1117 There seems to be a circle of sites here regurgitating the same incorrect information. Regardless, I don’t understand how any state or municipality can ban clotheslines.
