Yes, it’s a problem that something like that is insulting to publish.
I’d be pretty upset if the value of my home was harmed because someone decided to make it common knowledge that the town I lived in was crap.
That is a very British take. Constant worry about the value of something you don't want to sell. Thinking about your home as a financial investment, rather than a...home.
Unfortunately it's become embedded in the system with the houses themselves becoming vastly over inflated.
