       LOL the planet is burning down, Fascists are taking over... Meanwhile....  Carmel-by-the-Sea has taken a strong stance on the societal curse of pickleball courts. 🤪 LA Times (subscriber only)Wealthy California coastal city bans pickleball, saying it ‘turned into a madhouse’    Carmel-by-the-Sea has become the first California city to ban pickleball at public courts following years of resident complaints.    Pickleball’s explosive growth has created tension between enthusiasts and noise-weary neighbors across the country.https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-11-26/carmel-becomes-first-california-city-to-ban-pickleball#pickleball

       @ai6yr So pickleball is real? I honestly thought it was like sportsball.

       @tomjennings @ai6yr The issue being, ball hits are 20db louder than tennis, and you get 8 or more players at courts where there’s infrastructure made for 2 players…

       @cvwarren @ai6yr Oh.  Meh. I have no way to assess. NEVER MIND, lol. But I know Carmel is rich enough to solve this ... Is that old dead tree cliche still cabled in place over that rock? Lol

       @catch56Ok I should save this for the next time someone accuses me or any of us of being weird. Normal people are so much worse.  @ai6yr

       @tomjennings @ai6yr Thankfully, I just occasionally drive through Carmel—so not sure! And yeah, I think the rich-enough part is the key. I think some of the reactions elsewhere have included sound barriers on the surrounding fences (which would go a long way). And encouraging walking/cycling in would solve part of my problem with all the extra Mercedes/Tesla/Bentley(!!) filling up the limited street parking in my corner of SoCal
