In this case there will be times when its raining on the only day I 
actually get to do washing (meaning I cannot hang it on the line outside 
since there is no covered area outside at all where it could go). Hanging 
it on an inside rack wont work, there is nowhere near enough room for a 
rack large enough to hold 6 pairs of thick soaking wet jeans plus jumpers, 
shirts and more. They dont even MAKE a rack large enough to hang, say, a 
sheet onto.

If you can show me how to dry a full weeks worth of washing (5-6 pairs of 
jeans, matching shirts, jumpers, underpants, socks) in a single day when 
its raining outside (and really cold with lots of moisture in the air) 
using a drying rack small enough to fit into a tiny 1-bedroom apartment 
(with almost no available floor space), then I will go that option.

But since its not possible to do that (unless some magic device that I 
havent heard about exists), a clothes dryer is the only suitable option.
