It's a legitimate concern right?
Assuming that this isn't missing "/s", I guess it depends on whether you're renting or own your own place. The broader cry though is that LTNs are being used as a form of ghettoisation, where "middle class" types are essentially barricading off their neighbourhoods to prevent the proles from driving through, while they get the benefit of driving everywhere else themselves. It's worth noting that there's no evidence that these are being targeted at wealthy areas and, that there is a contradictory (equal and opposite bullshit?) objection that residents are "trapped" in a LTNs. However, if you do accept that making streets quieter makes for nicer places (indicated by people being prepared to spend more to live there), then surely the answer is to roll that out as much as possible. That then also generates the system-wide benefit of reduced car use that will really snowball once these changes are widespread enough.
