    The woman who complained only cares until the sale of her house goes through. To complain about the noise of pickleball while you have a pickleball court on your home is just the definition of hypocritical.

      the logic is not hypocritical...they just using this "public" park to annoy the people who actually live in the neighborhood...these dimwits dont go to Oakland and do this shit right? because they will get robbed off their underwears too! there is reason neighbors made this safe neighborhood and she bringing her filthy mindset...i am sure she will fight for her house if it is otherwise...a game she dont like...then she will become full on Karen.....these wussies guys are much worse Karens than the real karens

    Pickleball is obnoxiously loud and no tennis player wants to play near pickleball. Tennis courts are for tennis, not for pickleball. If tennis players wants to use the court whether they have reservations or not they have first priorities after tennis players with reservations. Pickleball needs their own courts away from tennis courts or the neighbors because nobody wants to be near the obnoxious noise of pickleball.

    They have no clue how influential people living in Presidio heights are. Rich folks recently got their streets repaved even when they were perfectly fine. All the sidewalks get leveled out while middle-class neighborhoods go ignored. I think all SFers need to go walk these neighborhoods and see how usually well-maintained public spaces are for these folks. That's have SF rolls.

    Same issues, different location. I love pickleball, but I wouldn’t want to live near pickleball courts. While many courts are in public parks, many residents bought their homes before the pickleball courts (think incessant popcorn poppers) were there. Other communities are tackling the same issues. Why don’t these communities collaborate and discuss what does and doesn’t work regarding this first world problem.
