Question Why are there no homes with pools in Albuquerque?
Answer Hi Carol,
Actually, there are quite a few home with pools around town. We had three neighbors with them in our street. There are lots of pool builders in business, too! It's not as common as places like Phoenix, partly because it's not quite as hot and partly because the city has done a good job educating people about water conservation when living in a desert environment.
Hope this answers your question!
All the best,
Valerie
