Mixed feelings. I HATE gooberment involvement but its EVERY SINGLE DAY in my hood. Army of Mexicans blowing crap one way one day, blowing it back the next. The Tuesday a-hole has apparently removed the muffler on his screaming leaf blower, making it roughly louder than a fighter jet with after-burner full blast. Cant even get a break on Sunday. What happened to rake, broom, dustpan? I dunno...gas powered garden tools make it impossible to have a nice, quiet neighborhood.
Maybe a better solution it so have everyones gardener a-hole all show up on the same day. Monday on our block, Tuesday the next block.
Even the across the street middle school gardeners show up at 6:15 AM and start making noise. The city ordinance says 7:00 is the earliest, but the school is apparently immune.

But gas- powered lawnmowers are ok? For now, anyway.
Weird.

The electric leaf blowers make just as much noise and will fling turds with the best of them.

No gasoline power? OK, I'll fire up the Diesel and coal powered ones. How big of steam engine do I need to blow the leaves around?

They say a butterfly flapping its wings in Africa causes a hurricane. I often regret the horrific damage I cause on the other side of the globe when I leaf blow. But, I do it anyway. /uglyAmerican

Really? What “blue state” hive do you live in? Please STAY THERE and soil your own nest. Leave us in the FREE STATES alone. I will own and use as many gasoline-powered appliances as I please.

Please stay on your side of the blue-state fence, and leave the rest of us alone. We will keep our LEAF BLOWERS and CHAIN SAWS.

I have a neighbor a couple houses down who just has to use his every Sunday morning - all summer long.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE, coming out of the woodwork on FR to take something away from their neighbors? This site is called FREE Republic. Maybe you belong on Demonrat Underground.

What about...
...gas operated hedge trimmers?
...gas operated sidewalk edgers?
...gas operated brush cutters?
...gas operated weed eaters?

I could go on and on...
