Pools are good for cooling down in the summer. Is it better if they use electricity and A/C instead?
The worst thing is that other countries are copying this anti-pool thing because it's populist .
It's not even going after pools in particular, it's just that pools raise the property tax. you're supposed to ask your city if you can build that pool, and your taxes will grow in consequence. Undeclared, no taxes.
And yes, filling up pools is banned in most of the country right now because we're going through a year long drought.
Yep

There is not much A/C in France/Europe. Go to a lake or a public pool instead, no need for A/C.

It is necessary. Not populist, necessary. We can't afford to just scream "freedom" or "populism" every time the upper middle-class wants to enjoy an environment-destroying luxury. Think of the freedom to live of the others. Is a pool necessary ? Of fsking course not. Don't try to color this as a basic need. You don't need a pool to cool down in the summer. You also don't need a 2 tons car, you don't need to travel to the other side of the world for your holidays, and those things are very detrimental to everyone, you included.
The rest is the same tired usual drivel
