Asking an LLM to draft a law banning leaf blowers is ALMOST as asinine as banning leaf blowers.


Correct. The problem isn't leaf blowers, it is equipment that produces unreasonable levels of noise. Leaf blowers are a good example of it, but the law should directly address the noise, not the function. Something like: no power equipment that exceeds 65dB measured from 1' may be operated in the city.

Of course many municipalities already have noise ordinances, the trick is enforcement.
