I grew up in Albuquerque and can say confidently that no one minds having a balloon land in their yard. It's like if a fighter jet landed outside minus ~120 dB and the travel. It's a kind of childlike magic to help them break down and put their balloon away. The only issue is when they run into power lines and such, but they can control vertical movement so that's not common.
