And just why does the City sell those nasty little electric mowers on
the cheap and not do anything about discount hand-mowers?

Good question. Both would reduce VOCs.

It's just as stupid as the fact that the City gives breaks on
air-conditioning to people who already have it but does nothing about
cheap fans for those who don't.

The city subsidizes replacement of wasteful air conditioners instead
of building more fossil fuel-fired generating facilities to run them.
At least that's the theory.
