How about the government regulating housing so that you have to upgrade your insulation and windows to keep the noise out?

Oh wait, you want government regulating (with massive costs) to apply to other people for your comfort!!!

I wonder why people hate the government and excessive regulation?

Based on this response I have to assume you spend 100% of your time in your house and can't understand why diesel trucks would ever impact someone in another setting.

Nope, but I ride a bike for my commute.

So I guess all the cars and trucks should be taken off the road to improve my safety right? How dare they pollute with their engines and break dust, that is harmful to my health! I should not have to wear a mask to bike safety in a city because vehicles emit dangerous emissions and pollution.

FYI the local garage truck is a diesel and I can hear it because my windows are old and crappy

Assuming you mean a bicycle, yes, you absolutely deserve safe segregated infrastructure to keep you away from conflict with vehicles. It's better for everyone and I think many cities are now catching onto that.

And you should also feel entitled to clean, breathable air while walking and cycling. Any local government that cares about the safety of residents would agree, I think.

No, ICE emissions and brake dust from heavy EVs is bad for my health and therefore should be banned for the safety of people without a giant machine that has air filters

"I should have to wear a mask to bike safely in a city because vehicles emit dangerous emissions and pollution" is the most sane libertarian take I've read this week.

Reducing the externality in the first place can be more efficient than trying to work around ways once it already exists.

Property rights as described by Ronald Coase would help find a near optimum solution.

The homeowner is not the one intruding on the commons

Other than the monopolization of the land from public commons to private property…

Roads are already extremely loud and unpleasant.

Part of the reason the US has a problem with too many people being fat and dropping like flies is because nobody wants to go outside. Outside is hot, outside doesn't have enough shade, outside is actively hostile to humans trying to do human things.

Oh? What's that? You want to go walk and get a cup of coffee? How about you go fuck yourself instead?

You want to sit outside and enjoy your meal? Well guess what, it smells like diesel and you won't be able to hear your own thoughts.
