Gas powered leaf blowers are a scourge in my neighborhood!  They
are completely ruining any quality of life here.  Everyday there is
some property next to me operating a leaf blower.  The noise is
deafening and the stench of burning and unburnt fuel is sickening. 
It is not healthy or safe to be within a hundred feet of these
machines.  God knows what it is doing to the poor workers who use
them.  We need to completely get rid of fossil fuel leaf blowers
and generators and require property owners to provide exterior
power outlets for electric alternatives.  There should be noise
limitation standards also required for all new leaf blowers. 
Eventually blowers of any kind should be abolished since they kick
up a cloud of toxic dust that drifts across the entire
neighborhood.  LA has a history of air pollution -- we need to
continue to combat it at every level.  Work on leaf vacuums
(instead of blowers) and other alternatives must be promoted and
supported.
