what boggles my mind are towns that actually have ordinances prohibiting you from hanging a clothesline - I just learned about one here outside Chcago, I don't get it.

You can thank your Home Owners' Associations, led by the NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard).
We certainly don't want our neighborhoods looking like families actually live there!
I agree - though there are certain parts of the country where, in certain times of the year, that doesn't work very well.
Frozen undies ain't my cup of tea!
I wash my clothng. including my undies by hand. In the winters when I need instant dry, I wash and dry my stuff at the laundrymat. It is down the street from my apartment. I take my stuff on my human powered adult Miami Run trike. I live in Connecticut btw. If I have enough clothing on hand to last a while... I do a load and let it "freeze dry" in the winter cold air. It smels SOOOO nice. The smell is quite different than "summer dry". All four season give the clothes their own seasonal perfume.

Actually, I'm all for that. Just make sure they're hens and not roosters.
They eat lots of bugs, scatter around their "fertilizer", produce excellent eggs, and in the end you can eat them.
Sounds like a win/win situation to me!
many people agree, but a lot of these are roosters - and people here live right on top of each other, so you're gonna get complaints with anything involving any noise (not that it's any worse than the ubiquitous honking of horns)

It's easy to deal with roosters.
Eat them.
Problems solved.
My wife wanted chickens when we lived on our acreage. So, needless to say, we got chickens. It was a wonderful experience. All different breeds, all different colors of eggs.
The ONLY reason to have a rooster around is if you plan to have fertilized eggs. And the only reason to have fertilized eggs is if you plan to have your hens set & hatch.
Also, you can easily spot a rooster in the crowd long before he starts that incessant crowing.
