Cloths line + desert + wind + clean cloths = having to wash cloths again.
Should I replace my 23 years old dryer?

Hmm ..but you might be on to something for cheap sandblasting
btw- birds, especially those who love to feed on the mulberries, can do a number on that eco-$$ friendly effort.

People living in neighbourhoods with laundry line nazis should hang their clothes at night. They won't dry as fast, but nobody can complain about the looks, and not as many birds will be out pooping purple on them during berry season.

I'll sometimes hang my clothes outside to dry in the summer, but not my undies.
Thankfully, I live in an older neighborhood that doesn't have rules or restrictions.

Really, your neghbours/community can tell you what to hang in your own yard ?
I guess it's because the Hill's Hoist is in every Australian yard that to introduce constraints would receive huge backlash.
That being said, with a breeze up, my sister in law's "panties" did look like a rear end view of Don Garlits just after he completed a run.

Great... thanks... now I have this visual of your sister-in-law's panties to take with me to New Year's Eve celebration!
Many of the newer neighborhoods built within the past 15 years have community policies that dictate whether you can have a fence, limitations on landscaping your front yard, what colors to paint your door, parking boats on the drive, and a variety of other things I can only imagine. My friend got fined for leaving his Christams lights up too long!
It can be a good thing to keep out the wierdos and maintain a minimum level of "taste" in a neighborhood. But my neighborhood doesn't visually suffer at all from any lack of community policies outside of city ordinances.
Frankly, I don't know if it's a city ordinance that disallows hanging clothes to dry in your backyard. People just don't do it around here, and I think this idea should be revisited in light of our energy costs.

And speaking of old appliances, Mom still has the 1955 Sears (also Whirlpool) deep freeze, still working and never been repaired. Our family buys ONLY Whirlpool manufactured appliances as a result of this performance.
I'll vouch for the Whirlpool also. Bought a Whirlpool fridge, washer, and dryer when I moved in to my home back in '86. The fridge is still working, although now located in the garage for cold drinks while outside. The washer and dryer were given to my friend when he bought his home to help him out, and both ran until 2005, when HE gave them to another friend. Maytags replaced my Whirlpool stuff... the fridge has had 5 repair calls on it, and over 500 in repair costs during the 6 years I've had it. The dryer has gone through a set of heating elements, and the timer has been replaced in the washer. I'm looking into the new HE washer and dryer set. Could be LG, could be Kenmore... won't be Maytags. I figure that Maytag guy isn't busy because everybody has given up on getting a Maytag repaired to where it will run for a while.

They're called housing associations. The idea, as Kestas said, is to keep out the "critters" that eventually turn a development into a run down environment. It can end up as a rather totalitarian existence for some. There's always someone on sphincter patrol ..sorta a much milder version of the secret police.
