"They have to live somewhere."

How about under a bridge? What level offender do you want living next to your children?

No kids, so I don't care. But I have multi-family properties, so I do not even come close to renting to them. Once a tenant is in, it's too late.

The ones on the national check, are the level IIIs. The worst. Most likely to re-offend. There are 1000's more that never make it to the list. I would rather have one of those, than a drug dealer. BUT, I am the strictest screener I know, so they would not get by my checks.

    why you rather have one of those than a drug dealer?

      Drug dealers are typically more violent. A drug dealer probably looks more like a person you do not want to live near. A drug dealer will re-offend more often than a non-level III offender.

      Of course, that's my opinion.

      Even Lawrence Taylor, former NFL Player is a sex offender. Solicit prostition from a 16 year old. Dangerous? Probably not for that.

Yes sex-offenders need to live somewhere. And no not underneath a dog on bridge. They are humans just like us. Not even animals belong under a bridge. Not all level III sex offenders are repeat offenders. If the they drive a car with out a lixcence is grounds. So, instead of lableing them the way some landlords do . Ask the offender why they are a level III. All threes are not bad. It is hard enough to find an a place to live now days, give them a chance. DON'T LET YOUR THOUGHTS MAKE A DECISION BEFORE YOU KNOW MORE. THANK YOU
