It is a good argument, but it does not apply. Their complaint is about the increased noise-level, which, as far as humans go, we can agree it can become bothersome. We typically disagree over how much and when is too much, but noise absolutely affects property values and potential resale. Take me for example, I did not purchase a place by highway. Extreme example, but same principle applies.



Aren't library the place where you're precisely not supposed to make any noise?


I genuinely chuckled. That is for the inside of the library.

In their case, I think they were referring to noise from cars ( people dropping off kids -- this is America after all ), gatherings and so on.
