answer:Pretty much true. Some of the suburbs have rules against them. Older neighborhoods may still have them. Most people aren’t home during the day, so dryers are more convenient. I did 4 loads of laundry last night. Couldn’t exactly be hanging out clothes at 1:00 am. Come to think of it, I’ve never seen the old kind of clothesline, the square thing that looks like an umbrella and turns, for sale anywhere. My mom had one of those. My hardware store sells pulleys you can mount between the side of the house and a telephone pole, because I bought one a few years ago for my backyard.
