Sound like a good place to send a bus load of illegals.

“It is important climate change legislation”

Well this ban will certainly make the weather colder, no doubt. It might bring on a new ice age.

It’s science.

Gas-powered leaf blowers = Mexican bagpipes.

I hate how loud the gas blowers are, but I wouldn’t ban them, I would muffle them.

People will continue to use them. This will simply tie up valuable resources trying to enforce this.

So for the next two years, you can use your gas-powered leaf blowers, but starting in 2026, it’s a permanent ban.

Shows how *caring* they are that they are giving people time to find battery or electrically powered blowers.

I’m not sure what problem these people are solving, other than massaging their own egos.

These people are mentally ill. Winter Park Florida did the same thing. Who’s going to police it? They’re going to get neighbors to narc on each other many times as

Back in the 1970s West Orange was known as “Waste Orange” because the rich kids could afford drugs.

No, it’s not.

The Northeastern suburbs, at least, have become insane with the leaf blowing. A simple noise ordinance ought to handle it: Your right to blast an army of leaf blowers at 200 decibels ends where your neighbor’s ears begin.

But hordes of illegals swarm in with a clutch of incredibly loud leaf blowers weekly, just to blow the leaves onto the surrounding neighbors’ properties. No, worry, another swarm of illegals with incredibly loud and obnoxious leaf blowers comes in the next day or so and blows the leaves back onto the original property. And on and on it goes. Every week, from April to November. Now they even come around to blow an inch or more of fluffy snow around from December through March.

These are small properties in town, such that you literally cannot hear a phone conversation while closed in in your own house. You could have five simultaneous, monster leaf blowers blasting right at the border of your property. Work from home? Good luck!

But even with a noise ordinance, are you going to get the police to come over in time to deploy perfectly calibrated equipment and collect sufficient evidence on demand?

Send the illegals home and go back to just raking up your few leaves—or having a neighbor’s kid or a neighbor’s American landscaping company do it—the few times a year that are really needed. Or mow them down when mowing the lawn.

These suburbs, largely having turned to the left, get the idea that electric leaf blowers are the answer. But no town needs people traipsing about, blowing the leaves from neighboring property to neighboring property all year round anyway.

If people started deploying a half dozen gas lawnmowers on their quarter-acre properties, there might be a need to ban them too!

I bet now one of the council members who voted for the ban take care of their yard.

Lord forgive them, they know not what they do. But please get them out of office.

What about my Husqvarna 272xp gas powered chainsaw? It’s so old it won’t meet current EPA emissions standards for a gas powered chainsaw.
