The basic argument is they are loud and inefficient as well as a group of users being inconsiderate about when they are used (mornings on a weekend and the like).
I have an electric blower/mulcher. I rake the
leaves into a pile before mulching. Leaf blowers are loud and only really good if you have a massive area to clear dry leaves from. Also the 2 stroke versions are an inefficient use of energy for a fan impeller.
There’s an apartment building across the street from where I live, and sometimes the maintenance guy decides to spend his weekend blowing every single leaf on the property. He’ll be at it for hours and hours non-stop, and yes, it makes me wish I could delete leaf blowers from existence.

I would be using the ait horn method… finding out when his quiet time is, and HONK.
I vaguely recall some college students making a suppressor for leaf blowers, and it was effective without significantly reducing power.
The electric ones are quiet and are as effective. Suburbanites shouldn’t have access to the gas powered ones.
Edit: Downvoters don’t understand how to live in a society.
My battery one is still loud and I find them sorta dumb, I prefer to rake and I use it to get into areas I can’t rake.
I wouldn’t be mad without them though. They’re pretty annoying
Yeah, but is it as loud as a single cylinder 2 stroke?
Definitely not.
