I just now escaped my home because of a leaf blower (he usually comes Monday, I hope it's because of the holiday, however, it just rained so for the first and only time all year, there are actually leaves on the ground). On my 15 min drive to the office (Pasadena) I usually see between 5 and 10 crews actively blowing (today closer to 10). So to hear "I've not seen one since" is a pretty big statement!

Oh we have those too, and they are also noisy no doubt, but gas-powered is a whole other level of loud. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. I found that you can report violations:

But am not sure how popular, known, or practical it is. Also ratting on neighbors does not feel right, but these things are a menace so I don't know...
