Counterpoint: laundromats are some of the most boring and depressing places. Harsh fluorescent lighting, always some TV droning away with an annoying channel you'd never choose to watch and don't want to have to hear, commercial machines that vary from one laundromat to another so as an occasional user, you never know if you need to bring quarters or if it'll take a card, plus sometimes people feel entitled to take your clothes out of the dryer if they want the specific machine you're using, etc etc etc. Plus you can't just run a load at your leisure, you've gotta schlep all the way to the laundromat with your clothes and detergent. I get why they're necessary but I'm glad I've got my own washer & dryer.
Yeah laundromats are annoying. I was rather thinking to have some space in the apartment building to share with neighbors.
It sucks to have drying racks taking up all my living space.
Don't you have a dryer?
No
The place I use lately has a bookshelf and a machine that serves free coffee. Pretty comfy in there tbh
