      I’m in southern California and I think most houses have gas hookups for driers, often with gas stoves and gas water heaters too.

      They work well and just make a lot of sense. However, I think they tend to be more expensive than electric clothes dryers.

          Yes, midwest USA. We all have gas pipes into the house for heating. So it became the default for stoves, hot water heating and clothes dryers.

          I’ve committed to not buying new gas appliances when the old stuff breaks. I switched to a heat pump water heater last year. I really want to get rid of my gas stove next.

            There’s gas here too, I just never thought of using it for a dryer. Personally I’d like to ditch has ASAP too
