Nope just asked question? The rest was my opinion and we all know how love to here my opinions.

If grass left in the street gets wet, it can become slippery and dangerous to walkers and bicycles.
Blowers need to be used to clear the grass. If a town bans them, would they then open themselves up for the TV lawyers to sue them? Deep pockets are often the target.

Takes me back 45 years to D&D games, and takes me back 30 years to a text based game called LORD - Legend Of the Red Dragon.

They can be loud, as well.

Electric mower with a bag for clippings. Quieter, cleaner!

genius! 😃

Heard on radio newscast yesterday that the list of communities and entire states banning gas leaf/grass/debris blowers is growing rapidly. The stated reasons for banning gas is the decibel level, so some states and some communities are (for the time being) going to allow electric blowers. News also reported a growing number of states and individual communities have banned ALL blowers, stating that simply dissipating dirty, dust, and debris into the air serves no purpose, and the practice of one neighbor or one lawn service simply blowing the debris onto the property of another neighbor not only serves no purpose, but as been the foundation of many serious incidents. Reminds me of one morning I was standing on my driveway, holding my cup of coffee looking for the paper which should have been delivered by that time. The neighbor's lawn service was just finishing by using a gas blower to clear all the debris. The woman using it turned it directly to me as I stood on my drive, absolutely covered me in dirt and clippings and filling my coffee cup with dirt. I poured out my coffee and waited for her to finish. As she was loading the blower onto the trailer, I walked up to her and said very calmly: " I don't mean to be rude, but would you tell me why you would blow all of your trash onto me, and my drive and yard, instead of the people whose yard you are working in ? I said this in a very conversational, NOT confrontational, tone. She looked at me and YELLED: MY BOSS OWNS THIS COMPANY AND HE SAID WE CAN'T BLOW NUTTIN' ON OUR CUSTOMER'S PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY ARE PAYING US !". At that point I realized she, and possibly the other male, were mentally challenged, so I nodded very slightly and went in to get a clean cup of coffee. As an aside, these were the very same two individuals I had given fresh, cold, homemade lemonade to in large disposable cups just weeks ago because they looked so hot ! Just wondering, might be very pleasant if the villages did away with blowers all together like some of these places have ! ?

You could have called the cops for assault and possible injury if a rock or twig struck you. In the eyes and you could ha been blinded. Might have at least called their boss for a little heart to heart.

Now! Ain't that just the truth. 🤠

Doesn't make it right. And, IF you wanted to make an issue of it, I'm pretty sure depositing waste of any kind on someone else's yard is against the law. It is certainly crappy community relations, at the very least.

Not really, imo. Keeps folks from getting nasty.
