Just had a conversation about this with a colleague yesterday. After waking up to the sultry sounds of a jackhammer every day this week, the leaf blower doesn’t seem all that bad. Feel like there’s probably a political metaphor there, but I digress…
I was campaigning with a Council candidate last year and had no idea this was an issue. Then a constituent came by.
“We have to discuss leaf blowers.”
And true to form this candidate was completely prepared to discuss them both as an environmental issue and as a nuisance. And had a bill about them.
And full disclosure I’m still pretty much agnostic about them. I live on the backside of the building so I never hear them. And as the manager of a business, I like that my staff can minimize time on sidewalk cleanup.
Me, Cate Blanchett, & Hugh Grant are the founding fathers against leaf blowers. I’ve never been more radicalized against anything other than leaf blowers & oversized pick up trucks
