“About 30 sex offenders living in tents in a south Oklahoma City trailer park will need to find new homes. The men vacated trailers at Hand Up Ministries when a new law that prohibits sex offenders from living together in manufactured homes took effect July 1. That’s when Hand Up founder, the Rev. David Nichols, moved some offenders to tents instead. The Oklahoma City Development Services Department issued a notice of violation stating tents are not permitted on the property the way it is zoned. It gave the nonprofit 30 days to comply or face a $500 fine.” [How the state destroys private solutions to social problems.]
