I know, isn't that the most ridiculous thing. I can't imagine why it is such a problem for some people to see laundry drying on a clothesline. I just don't for the life of me get it.

We certainly don't want our neighborhoods looking like families actually live there!

Isn't that the truth. Reminds me of my Uncle's neighborhood in Venice Florida. The homes and landscaping are so perfect it is almost sickening. Think Stepford Wives......

No sign of life, not so much as a child's toy on the sidewalk. I even believe you can only leave your garage door open for a certain length of time. Can you imagine leaving it open, getting a phone call and forgetting it, you would get the HOA police fine you for an open door.... and to think the homeowners actually pay a fee for this.....

Am I the only one who is nuts around here??????
