As I mentioned earlier we have laws and local government to manage these sorts of issue but the inference that keeping clothes off lines or other ridiculous limitations will somehow preserve the value of real estate is pure bunk. We have one of the most robust and least affordable real estate markets here and clothes on lines in the majority of back-yards. Every second back-yard in Sydney features a rotary clothes line such as a Hills hoist (easy to see using Google Earth) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hills_hoist http://www.demographia.com/dhi.pdf -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
