Hi,
I don't agree with the use of the "landuse"-key.
Landuse should be used for larger areas where you need a (generic) term
for a conglomerate of objects (like "landuse=residential" for an area
with houses, garages, gardens, streets - each of which can also be
mapped seperately), but not for single objects like a pool.

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.
In that case it would also be valid to use "landuse=building" or
something like that because the same argument holds here. I don't think
that the landuse-key should be used in such way. In short, I'm a bit
concerned about the increasing use of the landuse-key for everything
that covers a relatively small space, since the key is intended for
large areas.

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.

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.
Surely you don't mean to suggest we need to map a distinction
between movable and unmovable pools?
Last week I watched a building getting moved.
As a kid my parents went to the low rent ski area. The lift poles
were different colors, sometimes two or three to a pole. The lift
had been assembled from the parts of other lifts decommissioned at
other areas.
Everything in the "man_made" category can be
moved, including at unsustainable cost, the in-ground pools.
