With homes getting smaller, every inch of space counts. Thus, could developers, private or public, consider providing communal laundry facilities for their residents, to free up the space needed for a washer and dryer?
At the minimum, given the recent cases of maids falling from height, laundry facilities that provide dryers would reduce the need to hang clothes out to air-dry.
If done properly, such facilities could also facilitate meetings between residents.
This concept may not be common here, but it is worth the authorities studying if such facilities would save on water and energy compared to washing laundry at home, which is what a study in the United States, where these facilities are more common, has claimed.
