Bit of a generalisation and it's not just yanks . Church Housing supply washers and driers, no lines allowed. Plenty of maisonettes + flats here - Britain - that have no lines. there again I know plenty of people that can't be arsed to stick it on the line due to laziness.
Or people living in the 'hood!
Nah, my RPG gets tied up inside the bedsheets ......
I used to line dry when I was a stay at home mom. Now I work, and hubby is disabled. He has limited range of motion in his arms, neck, and back, so line drying is out. It is all he can do just to get a load to the dryer. My son is too short to hang things to dry, but I guess my daughter could. However, we now have a dog who goes nuts when he hears sheets snapping in the breeze, and rips them off the line in an attempt to kill them, I guess.

When I lived in Denton, TX, near UNT, but in a bad side of town, I had clothes stolen off the line a couple of times. The last straw was when my autographed REM t-shirt went missing. After that, I always went to the laundrymat to dry, since my apartment didn't have a hookup for a dryer.

Worse!
Around here people are accosted and the clothes are stolen off their body!

I don't blame you! I haven't had anything go missing from our clothesline, but I doubt anyone really wants hubby's torn up work jeans ;-)

My neighbour is a painter and decorator. He's had his paint-splattered overalls and jeans nicked more than once. OTOH When a line is full people around here will use a neighbour's line. I came home to find a line full of washing that I subsequently took in and folded when rain threatened. It wasn't claimed for three days and then by someone living a few streets away!

Wow! That would be very out of the ordinary here.

And so I do it for the second, and final, time... Thank you to the many respondants to my questions, both those who answered and those who commented. The issue appears to have been resolved to my wife's and my satisfaction by the PR department of Procter & Gamble. They replied to her email to indicate that the product was still available at certain merchants including Albertson's where we shop and that they had not discontinued it. We'll have to order it special, but other than that everything's fine. All that notwithstanding, there were some questions raised in the reply posts that I would like to address before I wander off.

I put a small amount of liquid fabric softener in my my wash right along with laundry soap. The clothes still have a fresh smell like the softener, but not as heavy. My teenaged son works at a fast food place and we have found this to be the ONLY way to remove those gross greasy odors that hang on. So, maybe whoever told you 1/4 downey to 3/4 cup of water was correct. \\
