All else being equal, the vast majority of people would rather have a house with a pool rather than a house with no pool.
Therefore zoning should ban the construction of pool-less homes in order to maximize pool affordability.

For the purposes of practical politics, I think progressives should shy away from linguistic avant garde-ism.
But the fact that English gets by fine with non-gendered first & second pronouns strongly suggests we don’t need gendered third person singular.
