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.

Ann, he's talking about a pool whose bottom has been busted up for drainage.
That is DEFINITELY a liability if any part of the structure shows at ground
level and the next buyer wants to remove it.
