Leafblower noise?? That is apples and oranges. You can knock on your
neighbor's door, and you have common interests with your neighbors.

Huh? That doesn't stop the noise. And usually the noise is coming from
whoever they hired, who aren't going to stop either. And it drones on
hour after hour, when one neighbor stops, the other starts. And it's a
whine that is very piercing (all the energy is located in a narrow band
of the spectrum) so a mile away even at low volume it is annoying.
Neighbors who blow leaves basically have the attitude "Its my right to
make noise" coupled with the "need" to blow the leaves instead of raking.

There are no automotive subsidies at the federal level. Federal gasoline
taxes exceed subsidies provided for road projects.

The gas tax subsidizes the trains. Why shouldn't the subway riders pay
the full cost of the subway, even if it means ten dollars a ticket?
(There are reasons, and they are similar in nature to the GA arguments)

My point in any case is not that GA is or is not subsidized (or should
or should not be). It is that you are inconsistant in your reasoning,
and your choice of target.
