It seems the Burlingame City Council has no idea of what they just created. One day a week, hundreds of homes will have gardeners using leaf blowers.
They claim it is for noise and health reasons. However, I wonder if they even gave a thought to how much dust and debris will be blown into the air on the one day a week.
This looks to me like they didn’t think at all about what they were going to create, only the ability to charge $5 per leaf blower and a $25 noise test. The result of this new ordinance, only going to create more health problems in the areas being blown on the same day.

This is dumb ordinance, and one that causes more problems than it solves. Get real council, and council this ordinance before it starts.
