Sure plenty of times growing up. Not sure the point of this question? Ignoring the environmental aspect I think limited use in suburban settings is reasonable.

Sure plenty of times growing up. Not sure the point of this question? Ignoring the environmental aspect I think limited use in suburban settings is reasonable. I'm particularly focused on egregious use in urban settings when we aren't talking fall leaf collection but constant "cleaning". Obviously it's not the workers fault... it's a matter of mis-priced negative externalities. Napkin math say the noise makes 100 people WFH 10% less effective for an hour at say $50hr wage average it certainly makes more sense to just pay workers to work twice as long with brooms (if the work is even necessary in the first place).
