Dryers. Spin the clothes at high heat. Damaging to delicate stuff, but fine for blue jeans. However, that's in part because the eastern half of the U.S. is very humid. Even in the summer, anything that is out of direct sunlight will take a long time to dry. A typical 30-degree summer day in NYC will have a dewpoint of 23 (and yes, it's as icky as it sounds). In California (where 30 degrees means low humidity and is quite nice) you could probably hang-dry.
