Looks like Lingles veto of the clothsline bill will stand.

The clothsline bill failure is because of the tourists. They don't want Honolulu and Waikiki looking like some third world country where all the highrises are cluttered with peoples underware hanging from the balconies. Unfortuneately people all over the state are living on shoe string budgets....and a dryer is one of the most expensive items to run in a household.
I think people are going to hang them anyway whether the homeowners associations like it or not because they can't afford not to.

I didn't know I was a scofflaw when I hung my clothes out to draw over the hotel lanai railing. I feel.....so....bad.....
Puna: Our roosters crow first
Sheesh!
No question a dryer is expensive and it must suck to have no choice.
I was feeling bad for using my dryer, but I read in some article by a local doctor that it's not a bad idea to heat some of the stuff up to kill bacteria ... I know it's good for dust mites -- hot water, hot dry, gets rid of allergens.
This year, East Hawai'i is DRY, but back in '05 and '06 I literally had stuff hanging out for two days getting NEARLY dry. And forget hanging stuff out except under roof or it would no sooner get dry than a shower would come along and start the process over.
Honolulu is another story though. Can't they sell it as atmosphere? People go to Italy, last I heard, where clotheslines are prevalent.

First, this was not about clothesline being used on Hawaii. It was about restrictive clothesline language in HOAs.
Second, if a person is not in a HOA this does not impact them at all.
Third, residents of HOAs signed a legal contract to abide by the rules and regulations. If they didn’t want to abide by them, don't move there. This is nothing more than government overriding the legal ability of homeowners to establish rules and regulations.
It simply amazes me how people will invite government into their lives yet moan and groan about government in their lives.

Of course nobody had to move into communities that had CCR#699;s about hanging clothes out. Sometimes though, I think, the legislature can be a bit more akamai than gated communities (till push comes to shove anyway). The point is, that in a time when Island energy is so costly, CCR#699;s like this only boost demand and make energy more costly for everyone else. So the ban on hanging clothes out really does effect people outside of those communities. To mandate use of electricity to dry clothes from a central grid, when there is ample sun power to do so, is just way beyond stupid.
The State has the power to make law and the CCR#699;s of private communities have to follow suit. Unfortunately, the Republican in the Gov#699;s office followed her mentor, Bush. You can also hang wet clothes over a bush in the sun. That works.

Just make sure that your clothes are on the right bush.
