You are speaking deeply to me about leaf blower bans in my town. They are useless.

Gas leaf blowers are a menace to society that should not be allowed in any urban or suburban area. (If you want to use one on your farm or whatever, go for it.)

If it is a blanket leaf blower ban, that is indeed asinine. However, I will gladly support a ban on two stroke engines for leaf blowers the same way I support requiring drivers to wear seatbelts.

		> If it is a blanket leaf blower ban, that is indeed asinine. Uh … okay, it isn't immediately obvious to me why that would be. My landlords insist on (literally) weekly leaf blowing, regardless of season, and so every Thursday the air outside the apartment is quite literally unbreathable, as it is slaked with dust and exhaust, and literally unbreathable inside if I were to open a window (i.e., living here, I have to remember to always close the windows prior to Thursday). Not to mention the sound. Banning the gas ones fixes a portion of the problem, I suppose. I don't think I'd care as much if the cadence was something reasonable, like monthly. One bad apple spoils the bunch.
