You'd prefer he strung out a line in his backyard & hung all his clothes outside like they do in developing countries?
I guess I'm from a -shithole- developing country myself, so can you explain to me how air-drying clothes is offensive to your sensibility?

(Again, in a desert; I can see how someone from Chicago might find it extremely convenient.)

Not offensive, just more labor intensive and uncommon in the US, especially for someone well-off enough to have his own pool.
The sheer sense of entitlement and superiority in this comment is astounding.

Yes of course? Not everything needs to go in an energy intensive dryer. It'll air dry just fine inside or outside
Yes? Why would you not? It's a complete waste of money to use it if you don't need it.

I live in a place where you don't need a dryer for 80% of the year, and for 80% of the year I don't use the dryer despite owning one.

Oh no, he might look gasp _poor_ and lower neighborhood property values, thus cheating responsible savers out of their well-earned retirements.
