Smythe<p>My new home is in an area that is all managed by a homeowners association. I’m not here to judge the pros and cons or efficacy or anything else about this type of organization, but what I will say is that I am at the old home right now and there are probably four leaf blowers in operation at 6 o’clock in the evening. At my new home they all stop at 5 o’clock because the ground crews quit work. That justifies the expense of the HOA to me - that single fact. <a href="https://triangletoot.party/tags/noisepollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>noisepollution</span></a> <a href="https://triangletoot.party/tags/Leafblowerssuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leafblowerssuck</span></a></p>
Eric R. Scott<p>So in the 30 min they&#39;ve been blowing around this half trashcan worth of leaves they&#39;ve generated air pollution equivalent to driving a car over 1000 miles.

Eric R. Scott<p>There are two guys running leaf blowers non-stop for the last 20 min in *one spot* on the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/UniversityOfArizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UniversityOfArizona</span></a>. How many leaves could there possibly be in spring in the desert??? Surely not enough to justify the air and noise pollution!! <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/leafblowerssuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>leafblowerssuck</span></a></p>
Nicklas Johnson 🏳️‍🌈<p>It should be legal to throw angry geese at people who use leaf blowers.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/leafBlowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leafBlowers</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/leafBlowersSuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leafBlowersSuck</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/geese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geese</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/noise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>noise</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/noisePollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>noisePollution</span></a></p>
