They tried this a few years ago but backed off when powerful interests (ie left-wing latino activists) fought against it in representation of latin american landscapers who wouldve been impacted
it'll be interesting to see if it works this time
tbh, the most annoying sound in the world by far is emitted by gas powered leaf blowers
California is top 3 dumbest state in the country but much of me is sympathetic to outright banning gas powered leaf blowers. They are a noise pollution curse on humanity.
We've actually had a vacation practically ruined because of f'ing blowers. Stayed at The Broadmoor once in Colorado Springs and two entire days we were there they were mowing and blowing almost the entirety of the day. You go there for the outdoors and you couldn't escape the noise. We had to leave the property to get away from it.
The first 4 years in our current house our neighbor across the street had her lawn crew at her house before 8 am on Saturday mornings. It got to the point where I was going to just walk across the street and talk to her about it, but she seems to have changed their schedule.
