For the record I didn't watch. Another problem is too many people want their 15 minutes of fame or are promoting an agenda, a lot of incidents are staged or someone is set-up. A good example of a set-up was David Hogg and his buddy and the lifeguard video. They just happened to put a bogie board on top of a trash can and leave it there while the life guard was around.

In some cities it is illegal to use them, when I lived in San Clemente Ca back in the early 90's just up the coast it was illegal to use them in the city of Laguna Beach. That was because of the aids crisis and having a lot of infected residents. Other cities have noise ordinances that they violate.

Pasted from a Times article, the issue with the HIV residents is not mentioned. Note the date, HIV or Aids was a big worry then and Laguna Beach had a very high gay population then, probably still does. I probably read the articles in the Orange County Register that mentioned HIV patients being an issue.


LAGUNA BEACH : City Prepares Law to Ban Leaf Blowers

January 08, 1993|LESLIE EARNEST



The noisy garden tools known as leaf blowers are getting the boot in Laguna Beach, where the City Council has agreed to prepare a law to ban them.
The council voted 4 to 1 on Tuesday to ask city staff to ready an ordinance that would eliminate the use of power blowers in the city after residents complained they are loud, messy and pollute the air.
Even the discussion at City Hall was punctuated by the sounds of a leaf blower, which a resident switched on outside council chambers, just to "set the tone," as City Clerk Verna Rollinger put it.
The city itself uses leaf blowers, and the city staff had recommended against banning them.
City Manager Kenneth C. Frank has said leaf blowers are very effective for clearing sandy beach walk areas and that discontinuing them will likely mean that he will have to hire more maintenance workers to wield brooms.



The council, however, opted for the brooms.
"I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically supported (the proposed ban) because it's an issue I've had strong feelings about for a long time," Councilwoman Lida Lenney said after the meeting.
Frank said Wednesday that the city will discontinue using the gas-powered machines, even before the ordinance is presented to the council for approval.
"We're stopping the use of our blowers this week," he said.
Options open to the council included allowing only electrically powered blowers or restricting the decibel level or times the gas blowers can be used. Councilman Wayne L. Peterson voted against the ban.
The council's action was in keeping with a request from the Laguna North Neighborhood Assn., which conducted a nine-month study of leaf blowers and finally deemed them "not compatible with Laguna's ambience."
A number of other cities and communities in Orange County have also moved to either ban or limit the use of leaf blowers.

I'm still not getting what the heck this had to do with HIV or anything else for that matter, other than noise.

The dust and pollutants stirred into the air when you had a lot of very sick people with compromised immune systems. Heard about it frequently during the diseases height in the late 80's early 90's from newspapers, local news, etc,etc. I lived in California then where there were quite a few cities with large gay populations.

Ding! He’s not making it up. I remember it was also considered noise pollution, that was outlawed around nursing homes etc.
Bedridden people were complaining of being awakened
