Can drunk people affect your home value?

Cheltenham sounds like something out of Lord of the Rings, but it’s actually just a neighborhood in the UK.

It’s a storybook neighborhood “plagued with ‘drunks’ running over cars, throwing bollards around and kicking off car wing mirrors”.

I really haven’t a clue what a “bollard” is, but whatever it is, it keeps getting thrown around.

According to the local Cheltenham police, “[w]e are aware of the concerns regarding the behaviour of young people and students in the area, which seems to be at its worst on Monday nights.”

Welp–now you know what night to party in Cheltenham!

A local (likely outraged) resident said:

For nine months we have been trying to sell our house at a reduced price, but several people have told us that the reputation of the town centre puts them off buying here.

You know drunk people in your neighborhood is bad when people literally don’t even want to move there because of them.
