Mixed feelings. I HATE gooberment involvement but it’s 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. Can’t 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 everyone’s 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.
Often governmental entities have no real way to enforce codes on each other.
I live in the country so anybody with a gas tool is doing something useful. But I work close to DC and they hire Mexicans year round to blow nothing. I have seen guys literally blowing a single leaf. Of course they are picking up some invisible dust and dried feces too but that just lands nearby.
I recommend we ban Mexicans.
I live near Palm Beach. You can have your multi-million dollar home but not be able to play music at a certain volume while sitting in the back yard by your beautiful pool as it might disturb your neighbors. With that said, there is so much vegetation that leaf blowers are blasting away at all times during the daylight hours! It’s a highly regulated town but they can’t solve that problem.
