If you REALLY want to get a understanding on how popular having your own pool is, read the ARC submissions each week for the districts. There are anywhere between 3-5 new applications for a pool each week. The desire for them seems to be pretty steady.

I think the actual number of folks that do not want a pool are relatively small. I think the majority of folks just don't want to pay the additional cost for a home that has a pool...so they say that they don't want a pool. Most people would say they don't want a 4 car garage, but if their lot could accommodate it and it was free they would take it....just like a pool. There are very few that are adamantly against it.
