"THE QUIET COMMUNITY COALITION believes that leaf
blowers are more of a nuisance than a convenience and
are a health hazard. We would like the Minneapolis
City Council to review the actions of the 200 or-so
other North American cities which regulated or banned
leaf blowers and take similar action."
I think the city should ban leave blowers. As Stephen
said, we put bans on noise and pollution all the time.
Leaf blowers are loud and irritating, waste limited
natural resources, and contribute to asthma and other
lung ailments.
For that reaosn alone I think more people would be in
favor of the ban. The levels of city kids with asthma
has skyrocketed and is a serious public health issue.
