Even if gas leaf blowers weren't terrible as far as emissions they are a weekly menance for apartment dwellers so I am hoping they will be banned where I live eventually. Electric is somewhat annoying but tolerable.

A complex pays for regular landscaping services which turns into hours of painfully disruptive noise pollution often in the early hours for residents.

Electric blowers are still very loud and high pitched. My dream is an electric backpack blower with a giant squirrel cage blower powered by a low rpm brushless motor, instead of the high rpm blade fan blower like in my current handheld tool.
