Rich SF woman trying to end public pickleball court has one at home

Yes and if only I were to use the public court then there would be no problem. It's these other people that are using it just as much as me that are the problem!!! The audacity of these people! Don't these people understand that I have nothing to gain from them playing?

It's not hypocrisy. But what it is is an expression of "got mine, screw you". This person isn't offering to use the sale of their $36 million home to build an indoor court that would solve the noise problem they care about while ensuring the public keeps access to public courts. Instead, their solution is purely destructive: take things away from other people so long as it gets them what they want. And their arguments for wildlife ring hollow, because the energy and materials consumed by 11,000 square foot homes are emphatically not eco-friendly.

In the end, this is another example of rich people's disconnection from the rest of society. It doesn't matter to them what other people can't obtain, whether it's luxury or necessity, because they know they'll still be able to get whatever they want or need. Which might not be so bad, but when it's rich people who also choose all the policies that affect other people's lives, then resentment is going to continue to grow.
