Remember a few years ago when pickleball became all the rage? While it seemed fun for a little while, the problems with the sport soon became evident. First, it’s boring. Second, it’s stupidly easy, and a relative amateur can go up against a professional and still score a few points. Third, it’s so, so, so loud — to the point where multiple communities have tried to stop people from playing the sport due to noise complaints.

One of those communities is Los Gatos, which has spent the past few years locked into a dispute between pickleball players and normal people. The pickleball players want to play pickleball, while the normal people want to have dinner without hearing a constant “thonk, thonk, thonk.”

And so, after months of argument, several threats to residents, and vandalism attempts on the court, the city has announced that they’re spending $90,000 of taxpayer dollars in order to try to make pickleball quieter. This includes “resurfacing the courts, installing sound barriers, monitoring security cameras and installing a time-sensitive locking gate,” per San Jose Spotlight.

Personally, I would have just told the pickleball players to go somewhere else.
