Editorial advocating right to pollute was absurd

TO THE EDITOR:

Thank you editorial board" for defending the sacred right of homeowners associations (""Preserve collective rights"" Jan. 27).

 These bodies are the bedrock of our sprawling cities and must be barricaded from unsightly features"" such as solar panels" outdoor clotheslines rain barrels and garden fencing.

In short individuals must be stopped from reducing their carbon footprint and lowering their energy bills.

Moreover lawns not laced with various and sundry chemicals should be outlawed.

Persons or families caught engaging in environmentally thuggish behaviors such as installing bike racks on the front porch must be jailed in lieu of bail.
