Please make them stop. Why are they still legal? My neighbor has been using a mower, weed eater, and leaf blower for 5.5 hours. Nobody else ever notices the noise but my auditory sensitivities make me want to claw my skin off.

Seeing a PAIS worker blow the leaves in front of one property in front of the neighbouring property is what sets me off. Should be fined for littering.

Mower, fine. Weed eater, fine but you better not be using a plastic spool. Leaf blower........ what good are they? It's easy to rake up leaves. Getting them in bags is what's hard. The vibration from the leaf blower would do more damage to your joints than raking. Leaf blowers don't do anything else! There is no purpose do them! WHY ARE THEY A THING AAAAA

People are trying to around here... though they're like "ban leaf blowers cough cough I mean ban gas powered leaf blowers electric ones are fine I would never question our leaf blower overlords."

I hate the resonance from an electric one, but it's not as bad as a gas one.
