I was wondering if part of this is more people working from home and feeling entitled to have a work-conducive residential area during the day.
Certainly things like construction and gas powered yard maintenance bother the hell out of me now that I work from home and live in a residential neighborhood (ironically none of this stuff is a problem in condos). I'd like to see noise restrictions on "cosmetic" work like leaf blowing and lawn mowing. Disallowing daycares seems pretty pretty hard into entitled nimbyism though.
California was planning to ban gas powered garden tools such as leaf blowers in 2024. I don't know what happened to that effort but I would welcome it.
