Go out there and talk to them while they are working. Be a fucking nuisance with your questions about their personal life, the blowers they have, the amount of fuel they use, what blower you’d recommend. Constantly say what or huh. After each conversation, ask them what time they are coming back and say see you then. It’s most likely a ‘busy’ task to keep their boss off their back…
Comment on I hate leaf blowers with the passion of 1000 suns.

I literally just emailed my local parks and rec because they built a park immediately behind my once peaceful house.
I begged them to stop leaf blowing every single day. There arent even any trees. They are just out there every day blowing the grass. Usually before 7am.
The response I got was basically "sit and spin. If you don't like it, call the cops, but they are city too so they won't do anything."

They should buy those leafblower silencers those students developed ^^

They don’t do shit about the sound and smell of the two stroke motors. That’s the sound that pierces noise canceling headphones.

Find out where the mayor lives, and just wander aimlessly around with a leaf blower outside their house at 6am.

As much as I would love if you guys did that, practically guaranteed you’d all be fucked in some way because “rules for thee not for me”
Can’t be having filthy peasants disturbing the very hard working politicians and people with money 🙄
God I hate how the world works.

Precisely.
They promised complete privacy hedges when they announced the park.
They put in 7 immature trees along a half mile of fenceline.
Neighbors have been calling cops non stop about the illegal activity at night. They showed up once to harass the neighbors and ignore the people in the park.
It's all been a big ol fuck you to the homeowners.
