Taxpayer‑funded sex‑offender housing near schools

San Francisco places a large share of registered sex offenders in taxpayer‑subsidized reentry residences (e.g., 111 Taylor Street), some operated under contracts with GEO Group and state/federal corrections agencies, located within walking distance of daycares, parks, and schools. The pattern appears to contradict voter‑level and state prohibitions against concentrating certain offenders near children and raises questions about placement rules, contracting, zoning, and transparency. — This matters because it reframes reentry and housing policy as an urban public‑safety and governance problem involving taxpayer spending, private contractors, and local zoning choices.
