I'm in this thread as an American confused about why everyone cares about this.

Everyone has a dryer here, either in their place of residence or in the location they do their laundry. Washer and dryer are a set pair. They're either stacked on top of each for compactness (some apartments) or they're next to each other in the same room. I've never even heard of a place in the US that doesn't have dryers where they have washing machines. Even homeless people can use dryers, assuming they can afford to use the laundry in the first place. (And no the hot humid air doesn't dump into the house/apartment, it dumps to the outside.)

Yes I occasionally hang up laundry, but the dryers are always there. It's not an access issue.

This isn't something people complain about or even mention here. It's usually only recent immigrants to the country who hang up laundry like this however.

Using a dryer costs unnecessary energy, which is something environmentally-conscious people want to save. That should be enough reason. It's also just freedom in action, something which I thought Americans like.
