I was 100% in your camp until my neighbor bought an electric blower. The loud, high pitched whine is somehow louder and more ear piercing than a gas blower.

- jauntywundrkind 3mo agoHey, DC resident. We've banned gas leaf blowers. Maybe perhaps possibly, but this is not my experience at all, ever. Even if you are sensitive and impacted, even if someone buys a particularly shrill one: I can sit indoors and hear gas leaf blowing from blocks away. At least the disturbance you are hearing is localized.

- michaelmrose 3mo agoGas blowers pollute which is the primary reason to ban them.
- nullocator 3mo agoHow many gas blowers do I have to run to be one Taylor Swift?
- tencentshill 3mo agoIts not many. They are stupidly innefficient. https://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/features/emissions-test-car-vs-truck-vs-leaf-blower.html https://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/features/emissions-test-... Given those stats, Gemini says about 8 leafblowers is the same continuous CO emissions as a private jet in flight.
- ryandrake 3mo agoI love the idea of "one Taylor Swift" becoming a standard unit of measurement for pollution!
- quickthrowman 3mo agoNot many, one or two 2-stroke leaf blowers should do the trick.
