quite the opposite...drive down a street...and the most well-kept, best manicured lawns are those of gay people....that is what people look at when deciding to live in a neighborhood.
Furthermore, studies have shown that gay people have revitalized the urban cores of many cities. Once white flight happened because of school desegregation, etc...gay people moved into these areas that were falling to ruins, rehabbed the stately old homes...and made the old neighborhoods, "cool" and "desireable" again. Straight people started moving back to the urban center, etc...because they saw the beauty of the older neighborhoods and the possibilities that existed in these places, because of the investment by the gay people in those neighborhoods.
So, in answer to your question....gay people drive up property values.
No, so please.. Ive LIVED in Arkansas, hon.. I KNOW what type WOULD drive down the property values.. you know, too, dont you??
The over-alls wearing Bubba who likes to hook only one strap over the shoulder, wears a T-shirt 2 sizes too small so that the beer gut can "breathe" while he chews tobacco and spits out the side of his face while yelling at his wife and 6 kids who have no shoes in the summer but brand new used ones from the Salvation Army in the winter.. he scratches his asss and belches in public but the words "Excuse me!" are not in his vocabulary.. he probably only has two teeth left in his head and he will ALWAYS be the ONE the television crew puts on TV when a tornado comes along and blows his trailer away and in his down-home, good'ol' boy southern accent he'll say, "I hurd'er comin'!!! It sonded jis' lak a freight train!!!"
Yeah.. that's the guy.. you know him.. dont you, bubba?
LOL Only if they're doing it on the lawn while potential homebuyers are taking a tour. Oh wait, even straight people might scare others off with that... So I'd say no. I'd be more afraid to live by someone so homophobic that a gay couple could scare them off from buying the home they want.
Remember the SW10 end of Fulham Road (London), and around that area in the mid/late seventies - the gay 'presence' made it shine...so much so that the original working class towards Fulham itself were priced out, and that was before the arrival of the Oxbridge dears, and middle class took advantage come the early eighties.
When a reader asked what he could do to improve the quality of the neighborhood after a gay couple moved in across the street, the advice columnist Dear Abby said "You could move."

No we have good taste, and know how to improve anything, so the value goes up. Don't you watch Flip this House?

I know bigots drive down property values.
That is the most offensive thing I've heard in some time. Sad people still think like this!
You don't get out much, do ya?
Or apperently don't listen to the news where it's been shown they -raise- property values.
lolirony.
Is this a genuine question?? What made you think of it anyway.
