BTW, the turquoise stuff is great, but I also like the dusty purple footstool and pillows. Isn’t it weird, though, that so many places have either not enough color or waaay too much?

But why is the description SO SHOUTY?

Actually, I recently read that a swimming pool is not as wasteful as one might imagine, even in normally dry or drought stricken areas. A pool and the usual concrete surround takes up square footage that might otherwise go to landscaping that requires ongoing watering, whereas a pool is filled but once (for the most part). Also, it provides a water reserve should wildfire strike.

The one issue with this particular listing, though, is that it has both a pool area and an expansive green lawn – in Arizona. Checking satellite images shows that most other properties in the area have either a very small green space or none at all, unlike this one.
