who thinks that those gas powered leaf blowers should be banned?

SW-User
I don't mind them, but can we ban the people that blow grass and leaves into the street instead of into piles to be cleaned up??

@SW-User they are NOT supposed to do that

@pdockal no. It's totally illegal here. Considered "creating hazardous road conditions", but people do it anyway.

@SW-User well unfortunately even if you call the cops they wont even do anything
Why? And who is using a leaf blower in the spring?

@subicbayjay I really don't understand what's the advantage over a rake - our properties are 50x100 and it takes 3 guys 45 minutes with 3 machines...I'm starting to think they are just putting on a show for the owners so they feel they're getting their money's worth...
@subicbayjay I apologize. I'm in a New Mexico city and we have no grass in the immediate vicinity and prior to that I lived mostly in the country where we had no landscape guys.

Judging by the comments, I was tone-deaf to the noise of leaf blowers.

If you wanna talk motorcycles at 3 in the morning, I'm in!

Must be an essential service, since it is the only thing working around here

I hate those loud leaf blowers! I'd like to criminalize them along with telemarketers.

I do - All morning, I'm working in my house and have to stick in earbuds to drown out the drone...and why? There's no grass to cut, no leaves to blow - these "landscapers" are blowing weed seeds all over, create noise and air pollution

@fun4us2b Must be an essential industry, its the only business operating around here

@sunsporter1649 can't get a haircut, but the lawn?
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@subicbayjay I agree, but apparently its more important to keep the illegal immigrants working

Yes it’s littering
pdockal · 56-60, M
@gregloa thats wrong but its still NOT littering ... make (a place) untidy with rubbish ... as grass clipings & leaves arent rubbish
gregloa · 61-69, M
It’s littering
@pdockal
pdockal · 56-60, M
@gregloa ughhhhhh ... this is rediculous conversation ... natural objects arent rubbish so its not littering

Why?? Is your neighbor being annoying??
subicbayjay · 61-69, M
@SStarfish typically, it is not the homeowner.. it is the paid landscapers" that go apeshit with them.. and yes, 8 am is the new dawn these days.. I should still have 2 hours of sleep left;)
@subicbayjay ah i see 😄😄
