In America, renters have to take their dirty laundry to a store to wash them while they sit there for hours surrounded by the dregs of society.

>>216559409 (OP)
Good place to meet girls. American media told me that.

>>216559467
Haha are these your panties? Well they were on the floor so they're mine now *stuffs in front of pants*

Why can't they just buy a machine of their own? Don't apartments have the proper plumbing or what

*In New York
Apartments in every other major city have in-unit laundry by now. Only New Yorkers accept this sort of thirdie lifestyle

Does Finland give out state mandated washers and dryers? A low end one brand new costs about USD300 just for washing, no dryer

Is 300$ a lot of money in Nippon or something?

>>216559643
If you can afford monthly rent you can afford a $300 washing machine

>dryer
literally a pointless appliance, waste of money and space

>If you can afford monthly rent you can afford a $300 washing machine
LOL and you probably also believe Japanese eat cake with chopsticks o algo

>this much cope over 300$
owari da

>>216559575
Dryers here use consume so much energy that landlord don’t want them.

>>216560297
Yes it is. I guess you learnt some hard facts about Japan today, Weeb

>>216560316
Doesn't the tenant usually pay for his own water/electricity in the US? The fuck does the landlord got to do with it

And what's the deal with dryers? I've never used one, don't think I know anyone who had one. What's the point when you can just hang the clothes to dry somewhere?

What bizarre living arrangements all around

>>216559596
My small city has these

> dryer
spoiled fuckers

>>216560562
I notice online finnish is always dismissive of other people’s way of life. Very racist.

>>216560562
There's no place to hang for drying in apartments

>>216560727
I live in a studio and have no problem with it.

>>216560758
The lease won't allow it because of mold reasons.

>>216559409 (OP)
how hard would it be to fit a washer/dryer in an appartment?
do american landlords just hate people?

>>216560727
There's plenty of ways
>clotheslines in the bathroom/storeroom
>clotheslines in the backyard/balcony
>one of these bad boys >>216560637
>just spread them out on doors or furniture if you're desperate

>>216560832
what does a tranime girl have to do with that

>>216561457
russia is a tranime country though

>>216560832
A lot of apartments don't allow washer/dryer. You can be evicted if you are caught washing your own clothes at home.

>>216559409 (OP)
the hell..
>>216561859
whats the reasoning

>>216561904
It fucks up the plumbing which isn't built to handle washers. Also water is paid by the landlord so they don't want you to use a lot of water.

>>216559643
The majority of apartments have a washing machine and dryer for communal use, but you can buy a combo unit for 500$

>>216561962
How does the supposedly wealthiest nation in the world manage to have such shit housing? Apparently cardboard walls aren't even half the problem.

>>216561985
I can never get my head around using communal washers and dryers. How do you know the previous user had poopy stuff in their laundry?

>>216559643
>USD300
How poor do you have to be to not be able to afford that
>no dryer
Why do you need a dryer, just get a drying rack

>>216563953
Japan is poor. You only see rich cunt shit in our media

>>216559409 (OP)
I think that laundromats are a global occurance. When I visited them, I read a book for the duration of the washing & drying process.
>>216559575
For me it was the size. My first flat was only 13 m2.
>>216560935
Regarding my first flat:
>>clotheslines in the bathroom/storeroom
The bathroom was shared by four other persons, was slightly smaller than my flat and there wasn't a storeage room.
>clotheslines in the backyard/balcony
No backyard or balcony.
>one of these bad boys >>216560637
No room for one.
>just spread them out on doors or furniture if you're desperate
I didn't have enough furniture but I had something like pic rel which I attatched to a shelf.

>>216559467
lol

Just came back from the laundromat. Got mad pussy while waiting for the dryer. The media hype is real.

>>216559409 (OP)
I did this in britian

>>216559409 (OP)
Almost every new apartment has an in unit washer and dryer.

>>216562016
He's talking about 70 year old housing in NYC or Chicago.

The 'cardboard' (wood) apartments that people seethe about actually pretty much all have washers and dryers in every apartment.

>>216559409 (OP)
You should have lived here rather than your soulful shitty apartment building

Why is Germany so culturally insensitive about the state of the yen

>>216568228
Where do people park their cars? Is there an underground garage?

>>216568351
Depends. Underground parking is expensive and dependent on the geology, so its only doable if its high land value and favorable geology. A lot of these have structured parking, either they'll make the first 1 or 2 floors a parking garage or they'll have a parking garage in the middle and the apartments wrap around it (Texas donut). Texas donut is pretty much the default style apartment building in southern cities. Or if the apartment building is central enough, transit is passable and zoning allows, you can just have no parking at all.

In low land value locations, they'll often just have surface parking.

I lived in the UK and Europe for several years, and using a laundromat was/is standard for uni students and young professionals who rent cheap accommodations which don't have inhouse laundry facilities.
So don't know why these Euros are pretending to be strangers to this services for.
