Or perhaps America is poorer because they lack an outside space to hang clothes?
- bluGill 10mo agoMost Americans have space to hang clothes. They don't use it, but the space exist. Sometimes it is illegal to use that space to hang clothes, but they wouldn't even if the laws changed.
- iso1631 10mo ago> Sometimes it is illegal to use that space to hang clothes Ahh, land of the free Based on my knowlege of New York apartment buildings, there are shared laundry rooms, thus New York City has fewer dryers per capita than Alabama. Clearly South Dakota is richer than New York City?
- bluGill 10mo agoI don't know New York. I know where I live most apartments are shared laundry rooms, but a few list washer/dryer in the apartment as a feature.
