The one thing that makes me even angrier is gas-powered leaf blowers that make multiple passes past my apartment, and seemingly deliberately linger for longer if I'm in the middle of a conference call.

Seriously, go electric and ban those abominations.

They are also hugely polluting, more than cars and trucks: https://www.wsj.com/articles/that-ear-splitting-leaf-blower-...

I would be ecstatic if my city banned leaf blowers.

They might already be—I lived in a city where they were “banned.” And yet I never saw a landscaper using an electric blower; they were always gas.

Warsaw banned them recently. Luckily the authorities started doing something about this nuisance...
