...but not for a reason that I am happy about.

Recently there has been a lot of local press about convicted sex criminals who live underneath bridges in south Florida. Apparently they have been forced to live under the bridges by the police. I don't really have an opinion on this because I don't know the whole story, so I'm not taking a side either way.

What is interesting to me is that these people have moved out to the edge of the Everglades. They are saying that this isn't fair because they are miles from any bus stops and they are not able to get to work. I understand their frustrations.

Again, I am not taking sides either way on this issue, but forcing these people to live underneath bridges and on the edge of the Everglades doesn't sound like the right approach to solving this problem.
