Not trying to be crass but that's literally reflected in the real estate prices. Homes in areas with lots of homelessness and related crime in the area will have lower prices than equivalent homes somewhere else. It does have a dollar value.
- newsclues 4y agoSure, everything has a dollar value if you drill down far enough. But it's not extra money in your pocket if you don't sell your property.
- pipodeclown 4y agoSure... You could also reframe it as the cost of building a big gate around your low homelessness neighborhood to keep the homeless out and to have security personelle to boot them out of the neighberhoud if they do get in...
