    In my part of Canada without a dryer you’d have damp, moldy clothes 9 months a year. I could hang them up inside to dry but I’d be running a dehumidifier beside them. We lived without a dryer for several years but it made laundry an extra pain in the ass and drying was always the bottleneck. No problem in the summer months with the clothesline.

      Yeah, I kinda suspected they were very useful/necessary in some parts and just spread to the rest because people move around a lot

        They are also, in the scheme of things, a very cheap and easy to install appliance (typically directly next to or on top the washer).
