[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn’t this mean that I can sue my neighbor for their leaf blower too? [/quote]

I doubt a judge or jury would ever agree that occasionally using a leaf blower for its intended purpose in a residential neighborhood is a nuisance. Now, if your neighbor runs it every day for no apparent reason, then yes, you'd probably win that case. I'm not really sure how you see any parallels with weed.[/quote]

I can step outside any given day of the week from spring into winter and hear a leaf blower or lawn service on my block. I can smell them too.

What about strong cooking smells? BBQ? Curry?

You should probably spend time researching nuisance law, and you'll probably be disappointed because leaf blowers and cooking are not out of character for living in a residential area (if any of the neighbors are running it just to annoy you, again that might be a different case, but you've described that many neighbors are all using them for their intended purposes). But hey, if you think you have a case that you can prove, and you want to sue all of your neighbors for collectively annoying you, go ahead and waste your money to do it. You'll need to convince a judge or a jury.[/quote]

Why would I? I don’t believe in harassing my neighbors with lawsuits.
