news.cincinnati.com : City residents protest sex offender housing.
Westwood (Cincinnati) residents are expected to attend a city council committee meeting that is expected to discuss a 27-resident apartment building that is home to eight registered sex offenders. An additional protest is planned for Wednesday against the Pogue Center, which houses the largest concentration of sex offenders in the county.
The city’s law mirrors those in the state that make it unlawful for sex offenders to live within 1,000 feet of schools and day-care centers. Those that do are subject to eviction. Other area municipalities have additional laws on the books making it difficult for sex offenders to set up residences in their areas. The laws in the city make about 60 percent of the housing areas off-limits from sex offenders.
Folks, that's what you get when you banish sex offenders from most parts of the cities. Now you have to live with it.
