Guess the only way this can happen, is, to close down the available housing, but then they are homeless and cannot be monitored (i.e., know where they sleep for a few hours of the day/night).7-1-2011 Texas:
HOUSTON—The president of the Sunnyside Civic Association is calling on lawmakers to adopt rules that would limit the number of sex offenders who can live in a neighborhood.
Sunnyside is a community with more registered sex offenders than almost any other in Harris County.
Recently, a registered sex offender was arrested after exposing himself to small children in the neighborhood.
“Our kids can’t even walk to the corner store without someone having to be with them,” said Prenise Howard, a lifelong Sunnyside resident.
Howard said the neighborhood has changed from the way it was when she grew up.
“I’m very concerned because it’s not safe anymore,” she said.
According to the National Sex Offender Registry, Sunnyside has more than 200 registered sex offenders.
Many of them reside in halfway houses that have sprouted up on quiet streets where children play.
“They need to do something now before it gets too late,” said Travis McGhee, another resident.
A number of Houston neighborhoods are home to large numbers of sex offenders, but few have as many as Sunnyside. ..Source.. by Rucks Russell/KHOU 11 News

"Howard said the neighborhood has changed from the way it was when she grew up. 'I’m very concerned because it’s not safe anymore,' she said."
No...the problem is that sex offense reports and news are shoved in everyone's faces these days. It's a media-crafted, pseudo epidemic.
We have lost our way, and if we don't find it soon we are going to lose our country. More government insanity.
