When is an emergency not an emergency? Re: Generator noise. [View all]

I cannot believe in an area that calls itself Republican that one of the freedoms you cannot count on is freedom from noisy generators.

Now, I could understand if power grids were being shut down due to hurricanes and flooding. Those kind of things generally constitute an emergency. Even if someone is hooked up to life support systems, I can understand it. But what do you think of an ordinance which is so badly written that it allows generators to turn on any time the power goes off? Any time. Even when those inconvenient two to five hour blackouts occur, which is happening more frequently.

Think about what happens each time there's a power outage when someone's AUTOMATIC GENERATOR flicks on. One, two, three a.m. in the morning you wake up from the sound and it becomes impossible to go back to sleep. If you live in a particularly incompetent Republican area where shortcuts are used all too often, it feels like harassment. Worse, why do you have to tolerate the noise when nobody is even in the house? Because, remember, this is an AUTOMATIC generator.

So, DUers, here's the appeal. There has to be some law that forbids a municipality from filing stupid ordinances which are guaranteed to interfere with the enjoyment of our pursuit of happiness, health and sleep.

Does anyone know the best sources, because I need to start building a list.0
