When we lived in Jakarta, we couldn't do all our drying on a line, 95% humidity air pollution and daily thunderstorms meant we only had a small covered area line. We used very small window-mounted AC in bedrooms only, to reduce humidity, only getting a small amount of cooling. Clothes racks in the rather large bedrooms were our main drying method and worked just fine.
In winter in NZ, we sometimes can't use the outside line, or if we do, the drying is incomplete. Then we use a small dehumidifier and a clothes rack and warm the room with free wood, economical and effective. I'd love to have the space to dedicate to a properly insulated drying room, we wouldn't need much or any auxillary heat then. However, my basement/garage space is earmarked for the Model A and other toys.
