<html><head></head><body>I am saying that the land_use tag makes sense for in-ground pools, since they greatly reduce the odds of the land subsequently being used for some other purpose. Yes, I know such reuse does happen on rare occasions; the city of Nashville, TN, closed all of its public pools in the 1960's rather than obey a court order to integrate them, and turned at least one of the pools into a sunken garden.<br>

<div>You state "The pool after all is a man-made object that just sits on the ground". Some pools sit on the surface of the ground, and so could potentially be moved from one location to another. Others are built into an excavation, and can't be moved without demolishing them. They are a permanent change to the landscape, unless you fill them in.<br />
