    Don’t ban the device, that’s hard and can be loopholed. The thing that irritates people is how loud thet are, and how long they’re used. Is this not really a noise ordinance thing? And everywhere has noise ordinances. Can a city’s management and/or elected political reps not focus on an awareness campaign for people to call in noise complaints related to dummy loud has blowers and have the DA on board with the fines? If landscaping companies keep getting fines for annoying gas leaf blowers, they’re going to WANT to use quieter electric ones.

      They also produce a ridiculous amount of pollution because there’s no “catalytic converter”. They just spew NOx, SOx, and VOCs like there’s no tomorrow.
