U.S. residents fight for the right to hang laundry (2009)

Even if it was a human interest piece, the good journalists get external perspectives. They don't just parrot whatever the one person says.

"Given the simplicity of the problem ("I can't hang my laundry [without people, including local officials, complaining]"), the solution is a little obvious ("I want to be allowed to hang my laundry")."

This makes no sense. The lady was allowed to hang her laundry! The other guy entered into a contract that didn't allow it. There is no problem here (other than neighbors not being neighborly).

Yeah, a good piece would interview The Neighbors and ask what they think about it. It could be very telling or even damning of them
