Godol: Next Ban (And This Time I Agree)

This reminded me of a statistic that I find to be highly disturbing.

The town of Kiryat Sefer has between 20 and 30 thousand residents (at last count).
They are now constructing their first swimming pool (see Kiddushin 29a).
They have yet to construct a single basketball court.
In this context, the ban that the Godol tells us about becomes horrifying.
