In SoCal, we have not enough water to go another year w/o severe rationing. How else would I think under the circumstances?
And, I'll bet these pools are heated, but not covered. What would be the point of covering an infinity pool? Well, the carbon foot print of something on that order would be something to be ashamed of. I don't care if it's natural gas or not. And look at the electricity being used by the lighting and the pump(s).
I say fill 'em all in and install a putting green with subsurface irrigation.

I agree!. That guy has way too much money and he is evil because of it. They should take away all his money and give it to people who haven't worked as hard or been as creative or haven't got as much education!
BTW I put a pool in my back yard last year. It isn't as fancy as that one, it isn't really big, It's a salt water pool to save on chemicals, I installed solar heating, it has a 4 stage high efficiency main pump with a fractional horsepower secondary pump to save electricity, and I use a solar blanket pool cover except in the middle of summer. I did all those things because it would save me money, not because I gave a rat's butt about what anyone else might think about my pool or my "excesses". They can pack sand for all I care. I earned it and I'm paying for it.
