everything i'm reading says natural pools are more cost effective because they require less maintenance and no chemicals. i'd really love to see where you guys are reading this.

People want natural You have to think along those lines, being environmentally conscious is really trendy at the moment.
In saying that, she says, it is a niche market because they are more expensive.
The pools, she estimates, might cost about $80,000 for an average sized pool of 18 by 4 metres, while a conventional pool might cost between $50,000-$60,000.

i also haven't read anything about it decreasing your property value lol

Pools in general decrease property values because you are decreasing the potential market of your house. If people don't want pools and want something like, say, a garden or a large patio, it makes it harder for them to justify buying your house. Really, any large addition to your backyard that requires extensive amounts of work to remove decreases the property value. Having a fruit/vegitable garden is probably the most environmentally responsable while being easy to replace for the next owner of your house.

and it's impossible to buy homes rn idk why you're talking about me making some type of interstate move just to live near a beach instead of buying a natural pool. that's even less cost effective.

Probably something you should have thought of before you bought your house. :)
