"Warren" expounded:

Well, you instantly lower the resale value of your home.

That's not true. Many people find a pool a liability they just don't
want, it raised your insurance, etc. When I was selling real estate I
was surprised at the attitude towards pools when doing a market
analysis. They can actually lower what a potential seller might get
on the market.
