To the editor:

Kudos to San Fernando Democratic Assemblywoman Patty Lopez for her bill giving Californians the right to hang their laundry on clotheslines, and to Gov. Jerry Brown for signing it. (“Right-to-dry's day in the sun,” Opinion, Oct. 15, and “California will be ‘right-to-dry' state,” Column, Oct. 14)

I have never understood why some people are so fainthearted that they cannot abide the sight of laundry on a clothesline.

We Californians should save our dryers for rainy days and not waste our abundant sunshine.
