I used to live in a rowhouse area where they had something equivalent to an HOA based laundry facility, not only did you have to pre-book like a tranny but they’d also charge you, and there were only two machines for 1200 residents. What’s even more cucked is that everybody had washing machines but nobody used them at home because of how high water bill was. When I studied in Florence as an exchange student, I just went to laundromat without drama or booking and there were like 30 machines available, and paid like 2-3 euro, and no drama or tranny booking. Many people may be opposed to paying as part of laundromat, I get it, it appears quite kikey, but it’s just hella lot more efficient and cuts through the bs.
