Convicted sex offenders can live near private schools?Originally Posted by kwilkinson
No, just that private schools don't raise property values the way good public schools do (b/c public schools only admit students based on neighborhood they live in, so a good public school is considered real estate location gold). "But wait," you're thinking, "Aren't private schools better than public schools?" Yes, but since they're not location-dependent, they don't create scarcity effects in their locations; hence, they don't raise property values as substantially as good public schools do.

This, among other reasons, is why it always pays to live close to a good public school. Not only does that improve your property values in and of itself, but it also prevents convicted sex offenders from living nearby. I don't remember what the exact radius is, but while you can live within a certain radius of a school, they cannot.Originally Posted by Arrogant Bastard
This is incorrect.

So I usually check the Megan's Law website whenever new people move into the neighborhood...Originally Posted by XeF4
Checking the Megan's Law website has never occurred to me. This is probably the first and only time I will give it any thought.

Could you be a bit more specific? Are you saying that convicted sex offenders are allowed to live near schools? Because that's news to me. I am pretty sure we passed a law banning them from doing so in California about 8 years ago. Maybe it's not a common thing in other states?

Damn, I thought I was in a good zip code and there are 40 registered offenders in my zip!
But I guess there are more than 40 in most NYC zips including the very good ones.

Residency restrictions exist in few states, and they are being overturned as unconstitutional. Georgia recently was forced to allow them to live anywhere.
