When a city’s leadership allows corruption, unchecked police misconduct, and failing schools to thrive, it doesn’t just hurt students and citizens—it directly impacts property values. Cities with high crime rates and underperforming schools see real estate values plummet, making it harder for homeowners to sell at a fair price and discouraging new investment in the community.
