Pickleball makes way more sense than tennis as a tax-funded public good. It's a much more accessible game, and you can fit 16 players in a space that would most often be consumed by 2 playing tennis.
And pickleball is popular enough in my city that you'll fill those courts.
- lapcat 2y ago> Pickleball makes way more sense than tennis as a tax-funded public good. To some who live nearby, it's a public nuisance rather than a public good, but in any case nobody is saying build more tennis courts. They already exist from past investment. The problem is when the existing tennis courts are cannibalized. If pickleball is worth public investment, they can build new courts. We shouldn't have to sacrifice one for the other.
- apitman 2y agoMy point is it's worth cannibalizing the tennis courts.
