Strutting in stilettos? Not so fast in Carmel-by-the-Sea! This quirky California town demands a permit for heels over two inches, thanks to pesky tree roots turning sidewalks into obstacle courses. Born in 1963 to dodge lawsuits, this law is no myth—it’s a legal oddity that’s equal parts hilarious and practical. Grab your permit, or leave the Louboutins at home!
