Couldn't possibly disagree with that more. If there's a drug dealer in my neighborhood, or even if there's SUSPICION of a drug dealer in my neighborhood, it will depress the value of my home.

Neighborhoods with drug dealers are generally considered undesirable places to live. Imagine that.

If the guy next door to me likes to play loud music, I'll ask him to stop or call the cops. If people in my neighborhood drive too fast up and down the street, I'll ask them to slow down. If I suspect someone is dealing drugs or running a prostitution ring, you better believe I'd call the cops.

When I sell my house I'd like it to go for 10% more than I bought it, not 10% less.

100% agree. Not only that but now adays people don't even want to go speak with their neighbors about small issues like the music being to loud or the speeding up and down the road because they are afraid of being verbally attacked. which quite often happens now. So most people call the police because they just don't want to be the one singled out as the complaintant and have their house egged or vandalized because it pissed off someone that they complained.

Thats not exactly what I meant. In those instances I would speak up because if they playmusic loud enough that I can hear it and it is bothering me than it has become my buisness. Same way with someone speeding in my neighborhood where my kids play. That is also my buisness. But just becasue I suspect someone of doing something doesnt give me the right to put my nose in it. I would rather be the person who respects a neighbors expectation of privacy instead ofthe neighborhood tattle tale. If its going on out in the open than of course its a concern but what someone does in their own home shouldnt be of any concern to me.

So you don't care if someone a few doors down is dealing drugs out of their house??

Don't you care about your house's value?

You are totally taking what i am saying the wrong way. If someone were to be doing that to the point that the neighbors know who they are and what they are doing than it has become the neighborhoods buisness. But to just suspect they are doing something isnt enough for me to get involved. Im not saying i would turn a blind eye to all the goings on tho
