My usual routine is 1400 rpm spindry in the twin tub, and then hang on the indoor clothes lines. I wouldn't risk outdoor clothes lines here (in the city, theft risk by wandering vagrants; also soot from traffic on nearby main roads).
In the winter, since I keep the place about 60 - 65 Fahrenheit, I'll occasionally put a few items through a micro-dryer for 10 minutes or so (capacity = a couple of shirts or one pair of jeans, power consumption 600 watts) to get them a bit closer to fully dry before hanging them on the lines. I occasionally use the regular dryer for large heavy items or when I need something dried ASAP, but this is not often. (In theory the large dryer would be more efficient than the micro for a regular load of about 6 lbs., but in practice this is offset by the amount of time it takes to heat up.)
In a couple years I expect to be living in the country, where outdoor clothes lines will be safe from both risks.
Re. California anti-clothesline stuff in the homeowners' "agreements," try this: California law encourages solar power equipment and specifically overrides any homeowners' "agreement" to the contrary. A clothes line is a solar powered clothes dryer. This would be a very interesting case to take to court, though it might not even have to go that far if you just tell your neighbors about the solar law.
