Why not "where compromise proves impossible, I think there should be
mandatory curfews in the community, so that, being indoors, they don't
hear the airplanes as much"? You paint GA as the one that should always
lose. Let the community banish leaf blowers first, and then we'll talk.

Seems we are in debate mode today.
So.... leaf blowers are covered by noise ordinances. To test this, try
firing up a leaf blower (or a Harley, or a boom box, or any other ground
based noise source at 3 a.m.) in a residential area and see what happens.
Then, make an equal or greater amount of noise in a small plane by
circling at 1000 feet at max rpm and see what happens.
