I see your transient crowd of loud motorcycles and raise you a stationary team of suburban gas-powered leaf blowers.

At least the leaf blowers happen during the day. I live in a very dense neighbourhood, and it's a running joke among neighbours in the local FB groups. That being said, the (on purpose) loud motorcycle and car crowd honestly deserves the worst.

Small ICEs should just be banned. Leaf-blowers, chainsaws, mopeds, motorcycles. All of them can be replaced by electric motors.

Gas powered Lawn/leaf equipment - Banned in California starting 2024. Good riddance.

Oh really!? This would be a wonderful thing to spread across the nation (and the world)!
