When we bought our tiny house in April there was just enough room for a stackable washer dryer unit. Since we were going to live more self sufficient we decided to only purchase a washer and just live without a dryer so that way there would be no excuses for not finding other ways to dry clothes. I went threw DTs for about 2 weeks and now I can't imagine why I would ever use a dryer again. Between the electricity and wear on the fabric for us it makes sense to just not have one.
Do I think it looks bad? No, I do not. Do my neighbors? Probably, but I don't care. We have 2.5 acres and a little house they have a 700,000 house and love giving snooty looks when ever they can. I certainly wouldn't purposefully do anything to bother them but I will not alter how I live my life because some people who don't really seem to enjoy anything about life have a problem with it.
It is shocking to hear about it being banned. With all the bad things going on in this world I am amazed at the trivial things people will bicker over.
