No, I have never heard of anywhere banning clotheslines. |

They aren't illegal. I think there's something in the CC&Rs for our house, meaning that we've agreed not to use them, but we're using them anyway, at least until the weather gets wet, if it ever does here...

it would seem to be daft banning them from people's back gardens, if it was a public space it makes more sense |

In my complex they're not allowed...I have no idea why, it's like somebody is just on a power trip and put the rule in place just to piss people off...it doesn't make sense otherwise. Luckily, the person who made the rule recently died so maybe now things will normalize. Good riddance. |

They are within my neighborhood, not my whole community. |

I'm pretty sure they're not here, which is good because I don't own a dryer |

I'm surprised so few people said they are illegal ... I don't think I've EVER lived anyplace where clotheslines are allowed. At my current condo complex we don't even allow people to put drying racks on their balcony. I dry all mine inside in the guest bathroom. |

Maybe most people choose not to live in places with such stupid restrictions. This is America- - most of us like freedom...

I've never been told I can't have a clothesline and my parents have one at their house too. I use a drying rack on my porch because I don't have a good place to hang a line.
I don't find hanging clothes out to dry particularly ugly or unattractive. It looks like *gasp* people live there. |

I'll give up the 'freedom' of an outdoors clothesline to live in a non-tacky neighborhood  |

Because clearly hanging clothes on a clothesline makes a neighborhood "tacky."
Might as well buy that leopard print velour tracksuit, boardwalk belly button ring and a wad of gum now. Because I am tacky anyway because I have an outdoor clothes line. |

Its a standard clause in all the tenancy agreements I've had, no hanging clothes visible from the outside (which of course includes hanging them outside), except in a specified area if it has one already. Its a bit inconvenient, particularly in places/climates prone to damp, but not something I get too bent out of shape about.
Plus, when I hang it outside, people like Carmella keep trying to steal my leopard print tracksuit... |

It really depends ... if you live in the country and nobody can see it, that's great to save the energy and dry outside.
But if you live around other people ... you can't deny it looks tacky.

I don't think the third picture looks tacky at all. It actually puts me in mind of a very specific type of neighborhood, and gives the crackerbox apartments a more homey feel.
The second one looks cluttered, probably because of all the stuffed animals/toys. |

The second picture is a strange shape. It looks weird, wouldn't call it tacky.
The last picture actually seems "warm" and "friendly" to me. The buildings are gross but the clothes make me envision a close knit neighborhood, children playing in the courtyard and neighbors talking through the windows. It seems embodies an "old-fashioned" neighborhood except for the crumbling buildings.
I guess what others find tacky I find comforting.
I actually find it pretty and "homey." This picture of Venice just looks so simple, practical and beautiful:
This is the most I have ever thought about clotheslines |

I'm totally with you. It puts you in mind of a neighborhood where everyone trusts each other. |

Well Venice can be the exception, that canal picture isn't bad. Clotheslines do remind me of Italy for some reason, where they string them between buildings and the Italian ladies reel them in. |
