I hang dry most of my laundry in my own house still. I learned to appreciate this after moving from a big city to a town of 13 people. Of course we all had lots of space but my house had one of those circular drying line contraptions. I enjoyed going out and hanging my laundry, even in the cold winters. Even in the snow. The sun and dry air did their thing pretty quickly.
When I lived in Amsterdam my apartment came with a new combo washer/dryer unit. As far as I could tell, it mostly succeeded in compressing the laundry into a really tight, nearly inextricable ball.
In tighter quarters having lots of laundry drying between apartments could be seen as less desirable. There are solutions for that too. But the noise and dirt of lint coming from drying machines is a counter factor to consider.
