It's important to understand that the firework situation today is VERY different from 5 years ago.

Before pandemic, big fireworks were only sold to professionals, and they were exploded at a pre-determined time and place. If you like big fireworks: no problem you can simply attend one of these shows. If you don't like fireworks: no problem just be somewhere else on that particular evening

Nowadays anyone can buy big stuff. And they are setting them off constantly. I live in an urban area and big BOOMs are going off all the time in my neighborhood, especially at night. I'm not sure how anyone can argue that this is OK or a matter of preference. It's a major disruptor to quality of life, and I wish all fireworks enthusiasts would get to experience this

If you ask me I would prefer a regression to the pre-2020 situation. Who knows. If kids weren't allowed to buy fireworks, Maybe the Palisades would still be here and my parents and all their friends would still have a house
