“The French Newspaper Le Parisien calculated that an average pool measured at 322 square feet is taxed 200 Euros per year.”
I think the middle class should be able to afford a 8x4m pool outside of big cities. Especially since other large expenditures like overpriced cars aren’t that big of a deal in France.
The cost of building a pool in France is widely given as being between €15,000 and €50,000. This is for the pool, and you need to add on the cost of the surrounds, whether this is a paved area or wooden deck.
Then there are maintenance costs, electricity costs, cleaning costs etc.
> taxed 200 Euros per year
that's an estimate based on the lower possible height (50cm and lower) because the images don't give you a sense of how deep the pool is.
If you have 15 to 50k to put in a non productive, unsellable asset, you're at least upper middle class, even in the US. Bourgeois see themselves as middle class as much as working class do. Funny.
