The sex offenders have had a waterfront view and the Bay lapping at their feet, for two years now. When they leave prison they are dropped off at their new home under the bridge. So come on down Roman, we have room at the only place it would be legal for you to live in Miami! Some of the 80 Miami sex offenders, forced to live under the bridge, were charged with having sex with their underage girlfriends. Not as bad as Polanski's crime of plying a child of 13 with liquor and drugs and then assaulting her. In today's Miami Herald: Lauren Book is the face behind some of the state's toughest sex-offender laws -- laws she says have had unintended consequences. Lauren Book, 24, now realizes that forcing predators to live in inhumane conditions will not protect children; in fact, she fears it may do the opposite.
That is what happens when you put a Lobbyist intent on vengeance in charge of a problem (her dad Ron Book). His law would not have helped his daughter -- the nanny wasn't a serial offender -- her crime was committed in his own house. But the law - requiring 2,500 foot distance from schools and parks -- that Ron Book pushed for did force about 80 sex offenders and predators to live under this bridge to meet the distance.

Poor Roman Polansky.
Back to the Julia Tuttle homeless issue. I drove by there this evening and now there are dozens more tents and campsites along both sides of the highway. I thought the City and Miami-Dade County were supposed to do something. It appears there are now more people living there than ever. Still no bathrooms...
People like Polansky deserve the worse fate, but there are many guys who were young and had consexial ( I know)sex with girls as youn or younger. They should be able to live a normal life with probation for a few years.
I don't know....I watched the video 2x and I still can't tell which side of the fence she thinks they should live on.
I really don't understand how the people who live in that area aren't overturning police cars and burning down the mayor's house. To me the most remarkable thing is that the people who live near there are doing nothing over this. If I lived in Blue I would hang a banner outside my window ever damn day and block the traffic on the causeway.
