Who likes pedophiles? No one.

But the NIMBY (not in my backyard) thing is problematic. There is a half-way house in my (essentially) downtown Durham neighborhood. It's been here a *long* time. A year or two back, a neighbor raised a NIMBY ruckus, which I thought was unfortunate. Halfway houses must be in *somebody's* neighborhood. And honestly, my personal take was that the halfway house's location -- on a bus line, in a neighborhood with a strong, very active neighborhood association -- was a very good one.
