Peak Soil has a write up about Colorado HB1270 which is making its way through the Assembly. This will make it harder for HOAs to restrict some energy efficient tools, such as retractable clotheslines.
Delightful! I don't have this problem since a lot of my neighbors built up around me - and my clothesline was there when they bought their properties. I'm all for this kind of homey energy savings.
